Pros

Above-average compensation and benefits pkg. Depending upon the area of business, telecommuting is encouraged.

Cons

Communication is poor. Sr. mgmt ignores workers in the trenches. Many of the fringe benefits--e.g. childcare subsidy; quality cafeteria/fitness centers--have been taken away completely or are of exceptionally poor quality. Work/life balance is constantly talked about, but not actually encouraged (i.e. ongoing layoffs have resulted in fewer people doing more work and, thus, working long hours, including many weekends).

Business Outlook

Pros

I don't have any! I enjoyed the people but in general too much management overseeing...very little independence. I found that when we worked as teams people were able to do little work and rest on the laurels of others.

Cons

I would say the downside to working at GlakySmithKline was the inability to progress upward in terms of job opportunities.

Frustrating, great products, lots of potential, lack of senior mgt leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, great people. Customers want to use vaccines, but business/contracting keep them from using GSK products.

Cons

Senior management can't decide how to market vaccines. Contracting is KEY and GSK is WAY behind the competition. Piloting different markets to see what might be more successful.
