Pros

I enjoyed the opportunities for career advancement and the time and money they invested for training. There were plenty of resources made available for self improvement and often a job well done was recogonized.

Cons

Unfortunately I was affected by the first round of lay offs the company had back in 2008. I must say the company completely lacked transparency during this stressful time for the employees. They did not share any information about the company reorganization until 2 months prior to lay offs.

Pros

GlaxoSmithKline is one of the biggest Pharma companies world-wide, so the name recognition stands out on a resume. Because of the large amount of money in big pharma, the technology here is superior to what you might find at a smaller company.

Cons

NO job security. No feedback, advice, encouragement, or even any communication with supervisors and upper management. No sense of direction or work importance. No hope for being hired full-time after completion of co-op.
