      Great people, great products - pity about some of the current behaviours being accepted within the organisation

      Manager

      Pros

      GSK tends to employ lovely people who are great to work with. The company has some great brands that can really help people.

      Cons

      There is currently a disconnect between the stated values of the company and some of the behaviours being conducted and accepted within the company. The recent poor results are causing great stress and anxiety within the organisation. Recent corruption scandals in China and elsewhere were very disappointing to see as an employee

      Getting worse each year

      Senior pharmaceuticals sales representative

      Pros

      The pay and the flexibility of the job is great, and it is nice knowing that the medicines you promote actually do help people live better lives.

      Cons

      'Patient First' is the name the company uses to describe the compensation system. Since entering into a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the federal government several years ago, the company can no longer evaluate representatives on the basis of sales or prescriptions. What it has done instead is implement this new system which essentially boils down to taking tests and checking boxes. This new system has little to do with actually helping patients, and is an incredible waste of time and resources.

      Pathetic joke masquerading as a real company

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a paycheck - nothing more. Once the economy begins to revive, expect significant departures. Some groups (very few), are reasonably good - good luck finding them, though.

      Cons

      "Ethics" are a pathetic joke, as is the leadership, but they are experts at spin-doctoring. Promotions - when rarely given - are dispensed to pets and favorites, with no correlation as to talent or capability. Very political and a who-knows-who environment - if you don't enjoy a-kissing or sucking up, STAY AWAY. Morale is non-existent - people are seriously overworked, overstressed and always looking over their shoulders for the next layoff festival to begin. If they developed and launched therapeutics with the frequency and enthusiasm that they downsized jobs, they would be a world class organization.
