      Pros

      Multinational company operating in an interesting field - real life impact. The sheer size of the company allows (if you are lucky) a good level of international exchanges.

      Cons

      Some parts of the company are not really working together. Opportunities are not the same in all sites. Considering the multinational dimension of the company, this is a big downside: perceived inequalities, especially if fostered by a less-than-adequate local plant management, can result in excessive employees turnover and low motivation. The pharma industry is still quite "shielded" from competition: this is both a plus and a minus, since inefficiencies are allowed to survive.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      dynamic, business driven, young, practical, adjust fast to the big environment. In 2008 it was the first big pharm company that dares to cut majority of discovery functions and adjust the structure orgnization to big extent. Good company overall. Good health benefit. Good dental benefit.

      Cons

      Extremely low pay especially for those hired many years ago, do not encourage publishing paper, do not retain the best scientists. Need to have competative pay, do comaparable market analysis and equity research, so those at who have stayed at the same positions will get the same pay/ or even higher pay than those new hires.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      GSK is very family oriented and strives for a proper work-life balance for everyone. The benefits & salary are very competitive in the pharma industry. RTP & the Philadelphia are are two great places to work. Mass transit available for workers in center city Philly. On-site fitness centers and convenient parking too. Big potential with new CEO Witty.

      Cons

      Minimal amount of cross training. Employees tend to work in same area for years without chance for mobility. Only select few are given opportunity to job rotations and ultimate advancement. Current environment of downsizing has all employees on edge waiting for the ax to fall in their department.
