      Pros

      Multinational company operating in an interesting field - real life impact. The sheer size of the company allows (if you are lucky) a good level of international exchanges.

      Cons

      Some parts of the company are not really working together. Opportunities are not the same in all sites. Considering the multinational dimension of the company, this is a big downside: perceived inequalities, especially if fostered by a less-than-adequate local plant management, can result in excessive employees turnover and low motivation. The pharma industry is still quite "shielded" from competition: this is both a plus and a minus, since inefficiencies are allowed to survive.

      Pros

      There are varied carrer opportunities, the ability to progress within and between roles. The benefits package is excellent and the company can be flexble in accomodating personal needs. The focus on delivering benefit to to patient and value to the payer is excellent and to my mind places GSKahead of many others in the industry.

      Cons

      The climate in the pharma industry and the attitude of society towards big pharma is driving rapid change and cost cutting. this is not specific to GSK, but GSK is not immune. Andrew Witty seems to have solid appreciation of the issue. Head office location at Brentford has to be one of the worst locations in London from a transport and ammenity perspective. Car parking is very restricted and public transport links are poor.
