Pros

Good salary and benefits, very nice people to work with in general, emphasis on health and well-being of employees, I happen to have a great manager.

Cons

Senior management seems out of touch with what goes on 'in the trenches', inequality in workloads, promotions don't match performance, work overload.

Business Outlook

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.

Glaxo Smith Kline offers a Great Salary and Benefits package. They are looked at as a leader in the pharmaceutical market.

Glaxo Smith Kline says that they are a transparent company. However, in the past that has not been the case, be carefull while working for this company.
