      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working environment Explore new areas of science Focused on high dividends for share holders

      Cons

      Decisions are based on people and not what's right for the company; Organizations get formed and reformed Way too many org changes - employees have had multiple managers within short periods of time which is a career killer Wrong people get promoted or given opportunities or developed only to disappoint Mediocre management that needs to be replaced , especially the C-suite and middle management Jumps into areas too quickly without much thinking and then pulls out too soon from productive areas Great place to learn stuff, but not a great place to build a career

      Mediocre

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Struggling to come up with any positives about working at GSK, or about GSK in general, other than, it's a job.

      Cons

      Morale among staff is poor. Staff are undervalued which is reflected in pay - blanket 1% pay rise for 2015, however expectation to do more with less people, lower budgets greater than ever. Facilities are tired and in need of updating at some sites but budget allocation is restricting projects to renovate the production areas. Many Line managers are incompetent at best, and bullies at worst. There are some great ones, but they are few and far between. Promotions appear to be be prevalent among those who go drinking with the boss.

      Poor company

      Financial analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary package and good company if you plan to stay silent at work. The less you work and tell your ideas, the better sometimes

      Cons

      Poor morale. Poor performance with patent expiration. A lot of managers going nowhere and knowing nothing except the art of surviving.
