GSK the good and the bad

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Flexible working (pre and during Covid) -Good management depending on which department you worked in -Strategic managers and leaders depending on which department you worked in -Sense of being in one company whether you worked in a local or global role; strong ‘One GSK’ mindset

Cons

-Often a toxic work culture. In global roles during Covid there was often no respite for employees who had to work long hours to deliver on projects despite what was going on in the world -Senior managers who encourage a culture of overworking I.e. working on holidays and weekends -Lack of empathy from senior managers -Lack of psychological safety culture for employees to speak up about how they are feeling

Terrible Company Following All The Woke Tropes

Associate scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None unless you are a woman or a minority or really, really good at being a butt kisser. You'll have it made if these things apply to you. If you hit the trifecta you'll be on the Executive Board in no time even though you probably have the intellect of a Turkey.

Cons

Everything, GSK goes out of it's way for DEI and will pay the price eventually. It's long been a lagging company with stupid ideas and stupid management, but they are really pushing to have the most incompetent workforce in the pharmaceutical industry.
