Pros

GSK is a large company with many benefits and opportunities. There is good support from a variety of teams for the employees. The pay at GSK is very high.

Cons

The decisions are shortsighted and tactical. There is a lack of alignment between words and actions. There is not a clear process for prioritization. There are many silos which complete for resources and leaders who seek individual/team gain. All of these behaviors derive from the senior leaders or are a result of a lack of clear accountability for decisions.

Pros

Great people. Great talent. On paper things are good. Good benefits, vacation, year end shutdown.

Cons

Bad leadership. Too many redundant initiatives and not always sure who owns what or why. Favorite employees get promoted. Otherwise it’s almost impossible to move from a grade 7 to a 6. Been trying for about a decade - with good year end reviews each year, so at this point I’m close to giving up and leaving - despite how much I actually enjoy my role. I report to someone less experienced and less qualified than me - and see less experienced, capable and qualified people given opportunities - my 1:1 discussions are good but my manager has never been able to articulate exactly what gaps I’m missing that others don’t have. Very frustrating.
