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.
