The Joint Venture with Novartis is a mess

Anonymous employee

Pros

Compensation, Big Brands, OTC Switch capability

Cons

The Joint Venture with Novartis is all about cutting costs. The new GSK will be way too lean. I fear the GSK I know and love will be long gone in a few months. The transition will be long and difficult. Many things will fall trought the cracks and GSK will be less customer focused and even more focused on saving a buck. The poor performance of Big Pharma has made life difficult for Consumer Healthcare as we need to help the broader company keep the dividends high.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, or they were, oops where did they go?

Cons

Layoffs, poor moral and malfeasance. Never have I worked at a place where the motto " The beatings will continue until moral improves" was more accurate. During several meeting we were told as a department," yes things are getting worse, if you don't like it here leave". Unfortunately pay was too good to leave until I like everyone eventually was laid off. In 8 years there I know of 2 people who retired when they were not laid off. Granted I did not know everyone, but retirements were real news.
