Pros

Best team I've ever worked with: no competition between each other. Top Management are very close to employers-even ready to discuss private issues by mobiles.

Cons

Not very flexible in changing reporting files which are already not up to date (I mean old Excel templates which were created once and are still used))

No Career Advancement Opportunities

Pros

Really great work-life balance. Most salaried employees within R&D are only required to work 35 hours per week. Also, flexible work schedules are a nice bonus.

Cons

Compensation is low compared to the industry. There is no room for career advancement. Many of the internal programs within R&D to promote top talent are advertised at a management level which is too high above those that are early on in their career (5-10 yrs in). Trying to move around within the organization is tough too. Management doesn't value their internal employees as much as they do external job applicants. The fact that middle managers within GSK have no confidence in their own workforce and would rather hire external pretty much sums up how they treat their employees once you get a job there.
