Business outlook
Pros
I really felt that I was working for a company that was doing something to help other people to live a better life. Even though I worked in consumer goods and not in pharmaceuticals, the products we offered helped people. Also the peope eat GSKCH were great to work with and are probably what I miss most. The benefits are also wonderful which I did not realize fully until I moved on to a new company.
Cons
The atmospher can be quite hierarchical which makes it difficult for people lower on the totem pole to be more involved and develop their careers. Also, some managers have a hard time accepting when people are promoted to very different roles within the organization and accepting their new position.
