GlaxoSmithKline Manager Reviews

Pros

Absolutely love working at GSK. They have an extremely supportive environment. Lots of personal and professional development opportunities in the form or secondments, training, global projects, etc.

Cons

Fast paced environment with increasing work loads at times.

Pros

Great frontline staff, great products that make a difference for people around the world, interesting work

Cons

Poor management at middle and senior levels - short sighted decisions, self protection for those who have been there a long time, inability to make decisions for the longer term

Pros

Good salary package, well-known international brand for future career prospects (GSK is not a forever home), training opportunities and professional development

Cons

Incredibly long working hours, temperamental leadership team who value $ over people (typical drug company), stressful work environment for little reward, self-promoting corporate environment, non supportive of working parents / awful work-life balance (expect 14 hour days and weekends to work)

Pros

Great brands and good salary

Cons

Incompetent senior management team and HR, people without values. Expectation to work long hours

Pros

There are some strong workers, great bonus and work from home policy, generous leave options and some really supporting people. Pay is good.

Cons

Alot of managers dont live by values. Short term decision making, lots of non value add meetings. Culture surveys have been bad and not shared properly with whole organisation,

Pros

Large company, many roles. Was willing to support unconventional moves and people with high potential

Cons

Short term perspectives, less and less willing to invest in career development over time
