Pros

Research seems well funded. Seems very patient focused.

Cons

Not sue what the downsizing, reorganizing and eliminating offices will do to the culture. May be necessary but outside consultants may be thinking simply 'bricks & mortar'.

Pros

The benefits at GlaxoSmithKline are among the best, if not the best. This company rewards you with attractive wages, bonus opportunities, and company sponsored family events.

Cons

The downsides of working at GlaxoSmithKline Memphis are the opportunities for higher level jobs and positions are very few and limited, and limited sustainable products.
