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.
