Pros and cons of working at GSK

Pros

  • Supportive team, flexible working hours, wealth of knowledge, ongoing training, satisfaction of working with candidate and hiring managers, building relationships and networking.

  • The motivation that everyone carries and surrounds themselves with - to improve lives of those with HIV.

  • Flexibility in working from home or in the office and the accommodating nature of my manager and other staff to allow me to perform at my best.

  • The people and culture.

  • The people and the closely-knit team.

  • Given great opportunities even as an IBL Flexible working and managers are open to work arrangements when needed. Recognised for great work.

Cons

    • Wouldn't say a minus however wish there was more people to work with and collaborate to improve learning.

    • Some outdated and overly time-consuming processes (but the company has provided reassuring dialogue that these are being worked on)

    • Can be fast-paced (with long working hours) depending on business priorities.
