A waste of 10 years of my life. No career opportunities unless you enter the company on a high grade i.e. as a student - Anonymous employee GSK Employee Review

Pros

Salary but you pay a price.

Cons

No opportunities of promotion despite having a 'Performance Development Plan' and constantly achieving and exceeding targets. You can train and develop to your hearts content and strive to do well but at the end of the day it's up to the line managers who they employ. I know many people high up in the company who have been forced out of their department due to changes and bad management. Went from having a great job to having no proper job description and being kept on because of my headcount.

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
