      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at GlaxoSmithKline full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Overall culture is improving. - Flexible working hours and working remotely. - Health and Well-being focused (Free Massage, Health Checks, Boxing class, and Lunch Walk group) - Weekly Morning Tea (Lots o' food) - Social Event (Xmas in July, Oktoberfest, R U OK day) - A shift towards to digital solutions - You will be surrounded with smart, hard-working people. - Decent Pay - EAP - Novated Lease

      Show More

      Cons

      - Many forms to fill even for a simple access request - Long turnaround time (good luck if your support team is overseas) - Not agile (yet) as a company - Site is quite remote (lack of food options mainly) - Politics can still be felt and visible (inevitable in a company of GSK's size) - Won't push you to grow unless you are proactive about it.

      Advice to Management

      Leadership Team should not have favorites towards their subordinates and be objectives; open to feedback from all departments. I have seen people who talks big with no action gets promoted and kept as a manager. But, you're doing a good job navigating through the JV process.

      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.

      Advice to Management

      Keep communication lines open and continue to support and grow your staff

      Pros

      Great brands, great vision of company. Good people too.

      Cons

      Not so digitally focused when I worked there. However, I heard that the vision and company has changed since to be more innovative. Highly regulated industry makes marketing challenging - slowing down any momentum with innovative ideas.

      I worked at GlaxoSmithKline full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      - Free cake almost everyday - Some great young employees - Work hours flexible

      Cons

      - Poor management - No emphasis on career development and progression - Lack of transparency amongst leadership and HR team - No accountability - Roles and responsibilities not clearly communicated and defined, resulting in overwork - Lots of admin - Turnover rate way too high - Long and unnecessary back to back meetings on a daily basis, leading to almost having no desk time to do work

      Advice to Management

      Genuinely care about your employees’ well being and career development. Give opportunities for employees to voice their feedback anonymously.

      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

      Advice to Management

      Lose 25-50% of management to empower frontline and value add staff. Think and act beyond annual budget
