Pros

Great management, friendly folks and awesome atmosphere

Cons

The industry is facing uncertain times in general. A lot of the jobs now are for contractor positions (like mine) and they don't seem to want to hire for full-time, permanent

Pros

There are varied carrer opportunities, the ability to progress within and between roles. The benefits package is excellent and the company can be flexble in accomodating personal needs. The focus on delivering benefit to to patient and value to the payer is excellent and to my mind places GSKahead of many others in the industry.

Cons

The climate in the pharma industry and the attitude of society towards big pharma is driving rapid change and cost cutting. this is not specific to GSK, but GSK is not immune. Andrew Witty seems to have solid appreciation of the issue. Head office location at Brentford has to be one of the worst locations in London from a transport and ammenity perspective. Car parking is very restricted and public transport links are poor.

Pros

GSK is a solid company with an outstanding reputation. I think that the products are well-received by the physicians and staff. I think you can lead a balanced life while working here. Compensation seems to be competitive. The company recently adjusted salaries because they hired a consulting group to evaluate how competitive the pay is. Co-workers are professional and are the type of people you would want as friends. The people in my division work together as a team and we try to help each other by passing along information that has helped us in the field. I have had to spend very little time at night or on the weekend doing administrative work.

Cons

I can't think of any downsides to working for GSK.
