Pros

Had some good products, but pipeline is weak and always botch potential opportunities.

Cons

They treat people horrifically. There are countless dedicated employees that have been harassed, beaten down, and abused by GSK. These are hard working, top sales, embracing the culture professionals and still the abuse occurs. Middle management’s abuse is criminal. And their actions have devastating consequences. Never call HR for help it will be used against you and help will never come.
