Pros

The benefits that Glaxo Smith Kline offers are comparable if not a bit better that other companies I have worked for.

Cons

Upper management talks a lot about the need to be transparent with both its employees and its customers but I do not see that happening. Retroactive performance improvement plans, being told that layoffs would not be happening (then they do), are two examples of lack of transparency and respect for its employees.

GSK is a good company to work for.

Pros

Excellent products and research pipeline; excellent salary & benefits; very good middle management; excellent reputation with customers, high quality sales representatives to work with; flexible when one needs time off.

Cons

Downsides are common to the industry: increasing level of micromanagement by marketing, decreased access to physician customers; pressure of deadlines and reporting responsibilities. Nothing that would be significantly different at another pharma company, and better than many.
