      Pros

      As someone who was not a "lifer" I found ample opportunities to "make your mark", get rewarded and climb the career ladder.

      Cons

      The company was originally a SmithKline company that was merged into Glaxo. When I was hired, several years after the merger, there were SK employees who felt that they had been blackballed. I can't say that I actually witnessed anything of this nature with any employees. GSK is currently going through surgical re-invention because of changing market conditions. The site where I worked was shut down in 2009 as a consequence of this and other reasons. It is not a safe haven if all you are looking at is size. The CEO is against large operations.

      Great for Work/Life balance. But stay on your toes.

      Pros

      Glaxo is still setup as one of the places you get a job and stay for life. There are a lot of benefits to this - great work / life balance, great benifits, a pension plan, lower stress.

      Cons

      The industry itself is facing issues and GSK has had a number of layoffs. This was VERY stressful on people who had been at GSK for 10-25 years, just showed up, got great pay but didn't invest in themselves. GSK is happy to let employees be average for years and years and pay them very well, but on the open market this means these employees are not desired. And they know it. So the con with GSK is you can be lulled slowly into a listless career..
