      Good place to work

      Pros

      Amazing team, made friends for life Helpful managers (though I have heard this has changed) Good modern facilities with good staff perks Busy administration experience Have a chance to implement new ideas if you think of one.

      Cons

      No career progression at all - Senior HR management only interested in development for HR managers and above - development opportunities given to junior staff. No progression from Hub to rest of HR. Unmanageable workload especially after implementation of new system

      Used to be a good place to work, but no longer is

      Pros

      Good work-life balance and flexibility with the option to work remotely on occasion. Good benefits and savings options. Encourages learning and growth

      Cons

      Too much instability. Every two years or so there was a reorganization, so there was a lack of job security. And the work space kept changing from cubicles to open floor plans. The latest "smart space" with no assigned seating was not pleasant, and could be very loud.

      Pros

      Could obtain a pay check so that I could feed my family. Gained experience on how to work for a pointless company. I am confident that I can work anywhere now.

      Cons

      There is a Biopharm CMC group in US in King of Prussia. That entire group can be laid off without affecting the GSK bottomline. They create unnecessary projects just to keep people busy. Whenever scientists accomplish something, the management portrays it as their own success and get bonuses for themselves while writing bad reviews for scientists. The whole group is full of managers, directors, VPs, project managers with couple of workers. So if you do any work, be prepared to get criticism from multiple managers packaged as "feedback". I left that place and I have been happy ever since.
