GSK reviews

You roll the dice on getting competent management. Once someone makes Director level it's like tenure. You see many people who used to be competent and work hard get complacent once they hit Director level - it's like retirement with a job. Company values process over leadership. Challenging the status-quo is frowned upon. If you're not a subject of the crown or willing to move to London, you can forget that promotion. A less qualified Londoner will get it first. High-achievers, entrepreneurs are leaving for greener pastures, and average, non-challenging people are staying. Pulling more chips out of US and redistributing toward the Far East. (This is a "Pro" if you're in the Far East obviously)

"Not my problem" attitude among the superviors. Too much travel for pleasure by senior management Always look out for less cost effective process.
