Pros

Good pay and benefits, or they were, oops where did they go?

Cons

Layoffs, poor moral and malfeasance. Never have I worked at a place where the motto " The beatings will continue until moral improves" was more accurate. During several meeting we were told as a department," yes things are getting worse, if you don't like it here leave". Unfortunately pay was too good to leave until I like everyone eventually was laid off. In 8 years there I know of 2 people who retired when they were not laid off. Granted I did not know everyone, but retirements were real news.

Pros

Love the idea of working in a company who help make people live longer and feel better. Used to be really philanthropic and care loads about employees

Cons

Since the merger, GSK has become far too influenced by the city. All about profit. All about cutting costs. It is possible to be good to employees and care for employees - just look at John Lewis. GSK has got the balance wrong in my view.
