GSK - a good place to work and learn.

Senior development engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

I like the GSK culture of empowerment allowing each individual to plan and execute their development plans in order to achieve both the individual and company's goal.

Cons

Frequent changes in the business models led to major reorganization and lay offs. These reorg often requires filling new position in haste leading to the hiring of unqualified and inexperienced managers who lacks the skill to lead and manage teams. I saw how the Panadol team was impacted by this.

Work life balance not where it needs to be; The company grants a lot of PTA however most times you are working 24/7. Pockets of Mediocrity in Senior management and Commercial teams
