      Pros

      Good salary, team working environment, good place to learn but no longer a career maker.

      Cons

      Open "kitchen table" work station that company adopted in 2011 is a nightmare to work in. Very difficult to concentrate and you spend your evenings doing the quality work. Management is disengaged and only goes through the motions. Laid off (retired) after 30+ yrs and didn't get so much as a good-bye handshake.

      Great company to work for if you are interested in a large global company.

      Pros

      Unlimited number of opportunities to advance career starting with university intern and graduate placement programs. Company provides avenues for learning through various learning mechanisms. Global presence also gives opportunity to learn about different cultures, working in a global environment and understanding complexity of a global business. Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures also result in many opportunities within the company.

      Cons

      Many of the core shared services, Finance, HR, IT have been pressured to reduce costs/complexity, etc resulting in many layoffs and moving services outside of GSK. With continued change, there is always opportunity!

      Pros

      Gym on site. Free parking. 401k match. If all you desire is to work a nine to five job and not make a meaningful impact, GSK is the place for you.

      Cons

      Yes-men rise and those who disagree get punished. R&D upper management lacks experience developing drugs. Lower level employees lack empowerment to change the direction of research.
