Pros

GSK is a solid company with an outstanding reputation. I think that the products are well-received by the physicians and staff. I think you can lead a balanced life while working here. Compensation seems to be competitive. The company recently adjusted salaries because they hired a consulting group to evaluate how competitive the pay is. Co-workers are professional and are the type of people you would want as friends. The people in my division work together as a team and we try to help each other by passing along information that has helped us in the field. I have had to spend very little time at night or on the weekend doing administrative work.

Cons

I can't think of any downsides to working for GSK.

Pros

I really felt that I was working for a company that was doing something to help other people to live a better life. Even though I worked in consumer goods and not in pharmaceuticals, the products we offered helped people. Also the peope eat GSKCH were great to work with and are probably what I miss most. The benefits are also wonderful which I did not realize fully until I moved on to a new company.

Cons

The atmospher can be quite hierarchical which makes it difficult for people lower on the totem pole to be more involved and develop their careers. Also, some managers have a hard time accepting when people are promoted to very different roles within the organization and accepting their new position.

Pros

World's 2nd largest Pharmaceutical company. The company is involved in meeting unmet medical needs. It also has been consistently rated as a responsible corporate citizen. GSK R&D work environment is very good with good work-life balance.

Cons

Large organization. The Pharmaceutical industry in general is going through significant changes as drugs are coming off-patent and companies trying to replace them. Therefore, lots of changes taking without waiting for changes implemented to deliver. GSK is not one of the best pay master relative to its peers.
