Pros

A great facility in Mississauga with the Pharma team. Plenty of good people trying to do their best. Great flexibility for lifestyles such as early Friday's, VPN access to work remotely. Starting to catch up to the other consumer good companies . Andrew Witty is a great leader.

Cons

Global structure was still not working efficiently but it takes time. Local management very weak. Little marketing direction or leadership, focused on a few team members and disregard the work of others. Poor sales leadership but a great sales team underneath looking for guidance and support. HR was not visible or impactful.

Account Manager in Vaccines

Pros

Higher base pay to compensate for capped bonus. Company car. Excellent health insurance. Strong vaccines portfolio and growing. Competitive contract offers for physicians clinics and health systems. Global impact of GSK Vaccines is huge. Here is where you see GSK's values shine.

Cons

Bureaucratic. GSK takes a now obsolete top down approach to leadership. Field reps are told their opinions matter and plenty of meetings focus on listening to field reps but things do not come to fruition in leadership's actions. Way too many conference calls and desk work. Because I want to do well in whatever setting I am in, this lead to working evenings/weekends regularly. Priority after priority... there are too many and they're ever changing. Bonuses are based on quality (subjective) rather than quantity. This can be good if you drink the GSK Kool-aid, but most find it frustrating. Logging calls is extremely cumbersome because of an outdated system. GSK has a way of overcomplicating things.
