      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has many opportunities, enough to keep hundreds of contracted employees busy for years to come. The work is challenging but very rewarding.

      Cons

      As a contracted employee in general work life balance is hard to achieve; more so with a company like gsk, where there is a lot of work in the pipeline and at least where I am nut enough company employees (not contractors) to oversee, approve abd advance projects.

      Typical for a large global pharmaceutical company.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The advantage of working for a large pharmaceutical are the broad opportunities available to employees for advancing your career. The benefits are good for employees. The salary and bonus is competitive with the best incentives for the lower salary grades. GSK is trying to create an image of a good corporate citizen in the aftermath of several well known regulatory compliance issues. And if you love open office concepts, then there's a place for you at GSK.

      Cons

      As with any large pharma, creating a strong corporate culture is talked about, but not organically cultivated. Having worked at smaller biotech companies, it is apparent that although they want to create a culture it is difficult for a large globally disconnected corporation to truly have a common culture. Innovation and thinking outside the box are trumped by bureaucracy and following the herd. My personal experience with HR is that they toe the company line and are not truly ambassadors for employees. Open office concept is not as productive as management would have you believe.
