Patient-focused environment with constant restructuring challenges

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Patient focused Lots of opportunities

Cons

1) Lots of restructuring constantly 2) They want and push people to move roles -regularly! but hiring managers require you to have done 99% of the new job, so many people are not progressing/developing new skills as quickly as you would like to. 3) But then oddly GSK has a biased preference for generalists rather than specialists in order to climb the ladder. 4) If you don’t have ‘oncology experience’ even if you have decades of pharma experience and a science degree you are NOT getting into the trusted oncology circle. Which only exacerbates issue #2
