Pros

Could obtain a pay check so that I could feed my family. Gained experience on how to work for a pointless company. I am confident that I can work anywhere now.

Cons

There is a Biopharm CMC group in US in King of Prussia. That entire group can be laid off without affecting the GSK bottomline. They create unnecessary projects just to keep people busy. Whenever scientists accomplish something, the management portrays it as their own success and get bonuses for themselves while writing bad reviews for scientists. The whole group is full of managers, directors, VPs, project managers with couple of workers. So if you do any work, be prepared to get criticism from multiple managers packaged as "feedback". I left that place and I have been happy ever since.
