Pros

it is really a meaningful role as it create vaccine that prevents diseases in kids.

Cons

Very bad hand-over when I am there to take over my job. On paper its say 30% you will learn online, and rest of 70% will be by your "mentor". That also means if you met a lousy mentor, that's it. When things goes wrong keep pushing fault on to you, just drag you to a meeting and point to a folder which contains the past 10 years of incidents. There, now you are the subject matter expert. And if in future meeting which can be less than a few days, if you say you aren't clear on the topic, push all the blame to you because you are the so call subject matter expert. This is the worst form of handover without ANY meeting OR proper Briefing formal or informal on the project. Some people are there in higher position just because they are there longer and knows how to game the GMP system, and knows how to act. Worse is the questions they ask exposed their weakness in basic science, yet...they dare to questions your understanding on basic fundamentals. There is a reason why in less than my 1 year duration there, close to 50% of the members has left and being replaced.

Pros

The mediocre pay is not worth sacrificing your health.

Cons

Having worked at GSK for several years, I have experienced a deeply concerning and toxic work environment perpetuated and endorsed at legacy leadership (that have been at the company for decades). The bullying and discriminatory behavior of my manager had a direct impact on my health and well-being. Bullying was not isolated to my case—multiple colleagues were subjected to the same toxic treatment, creating an atmosphere of fear and anxiety. Many of us felt we couldn’t take sick leave, even when genuinely unwell, because of the retaliation and stigma tied to it. The leadership appeared to turn a blind eye, even when poor scores were given on managers 180 feedback. This toxic culture is across the recruitment function, orchestrated by the leadership team. The lack of accountability or support for employees suffering under this culture is deeply disheartening. Speak Up is pointless no action is taken. I would not recommend GSK as an employer, especially if you have a disability or health condition. s Systemic bullying and discrimination is masked by propaganda and buying awards to sell the company as having inclusive culture which is all a lie. If you value your mental and physical health, proceed with caution.
