Pros

In the past, it was a small/medium sized global company were you knew everyone. It was a great place to work - more like a family than a work place. Plus, your job could be highly varied and your career path flexible. I hope this will continue....but with the purchase by GSK, this may change. i would like to be more specific, but everything is in the air at the moment and this looks to continue for a while longer.

Cons

We are now a small business unit in the behemoth that is GSK (although a desirable company, no doubt - it can not offer an individual the autonomy & varied job descriptions we have enjoyed in the past). The company will be moving to Stockley Park...not a popular move for a good part of the work force who live on the wrong side of Maidenhead & watch A4./A40 traffic reports with some trepidation! GSK seemto be making light of the impact of this.

Pros

As someone who was not a "lifer" I found ample opportunities to "make your mark", get rewarded and climb the career ladder.

Cons

The company was originally a SmithKline company that was merged into Glaxo. When I was hired, several years after the merger, there were SK employees who felt that they had been blackballed. I can't say that I actually witnessed anything of this nature with any employees. GSK is currently going through surgical re-invention because of changing market conditions. The site where I worked was shut down in 2009 as a consequence of this and other reasons. It is not a safe haven if all you are looking at is size. The CEO is against large operations.
