Think twice before working here

Pros

Benefits are great. A few decent managers. Seems to embrace inclusion and diversity

Cons

Trying to become a Biotech company but is still run by former primary care managers who are not embracing biotech culture and account selling ways. Horrible company culture full of phonies who are only after elevating themselves. Top talent is leaving in droves due to lack of advancement and being taken advantage of time after time and being passed over for less talented people.

Pros

From 7 years of working at GSK, in 4 different teams I found overall it to have a supportive culture which encourages development and gaining breadth as well as depth experience. GSK offers women-specific initiatives to try to help the balance to have more women in senior roles. Also, there is a well-established wellbeing programme and supportive environmental initiatives.

Cons

An ambitious company with huge organisational changes every couple of years meant that some talent was lost and cost-saving decisions meant that quality in some services suffered as a result. Like many large organisations, HR has been outsourced meaning that you have to raise a ticket to get help which means that no-one person takes accountability for the issue, whereas previously you had a dedicated HR support for your area of work and you could talk to and meet in person with a human which made life much easier and the advice was of a much higher quality.

Pros

Flexible working location, no real pressure to be in the office

Cons

A large degree of micro management from largely inexperienced managers and a culture that breeds fear and increased pressure placed to gain any advancement. Lack of consultation to ascertain problems on the ground often means they are trying to solve the wrong problem and results in more work and longer hours.
