Pros

Employer that tries to do the right thing as a whole. A lot of guidelines and documentation as in place to guide the ways of workings. Can be fun and energetic at times.

Cons

Depending on which department you could have very different work life balance. Bureaucratic and mostly led by UK leads. In theory, GSK is supposed to be an inclusive culture. But in Malaysia, it's not practised. Hiring managers still hire based on gender, marriage status etc. Not walking the talk - local HR need to bridge GSK values closer to change local practices. Otherwise it's really just hypocrisy. Observed a rather unjust treatment of a recent Finance outsourcing in which the employees were not offered any choice of retrenchment package but rather 'forced' to accept placements at outsourcing company. Legal loopholes perhaps?

Pros

Great company, benefits, tuition reimbursement, great upper management. The company is amazing and has wonderful values and gives their employees incredible perks.

Cons

Micromanaged, lack of communication and respect, pushback from direct management when trying to apply for internal roles. The management of Inside Sales is awful. You are treated as if you are a child and while the rest of the departments enjoy work from home days, you are stuck at the office because direct management wants to monitor your every move. (Even though they record every single call) it is required that you record every call in 3 different systems and treat employees as if they are incompetent. The accounts the inside reps are given are absolutely terrible and most of the time you are just wishing you had something to do that way you are not reprimanded. The company is great but do not go into this department, if you are looking for a way to get your foot in the door, I suggest the cafeteria. Anything is better than this I have wasted 2 years of my life and now I'm looking to go to another company after too much pushback.

Plenty to learn from process and technical prospective. There is a degree of flexibility if you wants to move around within the organisation. Great work life balance.!

Cons

Highly specialised departments, and as ka said not to grow which means no career ledder unless you are the chosen one or in grad scheme.!
