Pros

Competitive comp & benefits, good location, easy to commute

Cons

Very political environment. Promotion is based on personal relationship entirely. Arrogance & ignarance are the good descriptors for senior management. There is no integrity and transparency though which are labeled as "corporate values".

Pros

Pay is competitive, benefits are very good. Vacation policy is very generous and is consistent with European companies and policies.

Cons

GSK is in real trouble as a corporation, and the Consumer Healthcare business is charged with realizing significant cost savings. There have been four restructures in six years, lots and lots of layoffs. Profit requirements will prohibit GSK-CH from being competitive in the marketplace. Way too little people and resources to deliver a winning performance given its brand portfolio.

Pros

Colleagues are nice but that's pointless when everyone is leaving

Cons

Dramatic downsizing irrespective of experience or performance. The company is in a really bad shape
