Pros

Good benefit. Very talent scientists work there.

Cons

Low moral. Constant reorganization and layoff. You never know if you will still have job next year. Top performers are not valued.

Pros

GSK is a good place to work overall. The company today is struggling and the work environment is much more reflective of the struggle and the stresses that accompany it. The company was much different in the past. That being said, it is still a good place to work if you reside in NC. Old leadership has been eliminated and new leadership is trying to find its way.

Cons

The company spends far too much time on the little things. They live in constant fear of getting in trouble with the government and are afraid to take on any risk whatsoever. Virtually everything is questioned. They rank every employee by department and use a lot of subjectivity to arrive at those rankings. It creates competition between employees and, instead of trying to help one another as good teammates should, co-workers snicker knowing that at least one person will take the fall at bonus time. If I could change one thing, it would be the unfair treatment to employees.

Pros

Phenomenal people to work with and learn from, great reputation in the industry for people development and talent, opportunities to create strategies.

Cons

Until recently senior leadership refused to listen and partner with employees to increase performance. Company still lacks true innovation but is improving morale and slowly increasing performance because they are building trust with employees.
