      Concerned for the future

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      GSK pays very well with great benefits

      Cons

      Directionless with soft targets or unclear objectives Be careful when you speak up, as you will be unofficially classified as an undesirable. Emma has a tough rough as she is starting with R&D but then the rest of the company has some major contention. A lot of push/pull of new vs old way of executing. Generally not a healthy place to be at this time from a career perspective. Be very careful on coming here the sharks are swimming

      Favouring external recruitment over internal progression

      Tech director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good company and trying to change quickly

      Cons

      Long term staff are now seen as a mill stone and no longer valued with most new opportunities (especially around Digital) are going to external recruits, who seem to get bigger pay and higher grades. Opportunity and career progression is now very limited to long term staff and most now moved to dead end jobs or made redundant despite consistent high performance. Culture moving towards “self promotion” and “me, me, me” rather than collaborating teams, leading to less loyalty and more transactional relationship from staff.
