      Glaxo world class but low class for its employees

      Pros

      There is great value in accurately representing the benefits and limitations of pharmaceutical products. Physicians and patients need solutions to treat ailments and we meet that need. The benefits of a free car, free insurance, free gas,and good benefits is invaluable. The freedom from daily scrutiny by management is very valuable.

      Cons

      Glaxo uses its sales force as puppets. They have a tendency to stick their heads in the sand and repeat the same mistakes over and over again. The management is driving their best talent out the door. The company takes for granted the work that is required to be successful and does not fairly compensate for overtime. There is an overwhelming amount of stress associated with this company.

      Pros

      decent pay and good benefits.

      Cons

      Over the years, I found the company to be less transparent with their directions in regards to marketing the products and long term plans with marketing and sales of the brands. With the many FDA related issues pertaining to our products in the last several years, I found the company to be less open with the reasonings behind their decisons and strategies. Being an ethical pharmaceutical giant, head office has many policies on sales activites which regulates the sales staff in conducting business within the ethical pharma guidelines. However, these policies were not being followed by the staff mainly because pressures from the competition within and outside the company. The spirit of the ethical code is lost with the company.

      Pros

      Good place to apply science and engineering and a leader in the field. Attractive product pipeline when compared to the rest of the industry and the presence of a new CEO who will make change happen

      Cons

      Politics, Beurocracy. Takes too long to do anything and only those that brownose seem to suceed. Management is very retracted from the issues that cause us problems in production so there proposed solutions for better operational efficiency is somewhat blurred. R&D is not a productive environment compared to other companies that seem to do development far better than GSK
