      Neutral Outlook
      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at GlaxoSmithKline full-time for more than 10 years

      Pros

      Good benefits, GlaxoSmithKline is seen as a brand name employer, which will help with getting work elsewhere once you've gained some experience there.

      Cons

      Work life balance is in decline in some areas leading to unrealistic expectations and a lot of very talented people performing below their potential. The system of recognizing good and poor performers does not have enough checks and balances and is vulnerable to a few people's personal agendas.

      I have been working at GlaxoSmithKline

      Pros

      Good flexibility in terms of working from home, exciting work and great people who work collaboratively. Good opportunities to move into other functions and learn oyhet parts of the business

      Cons

      Work life balance is not ideal, very high workload and a very flat organization means little room for growth. Being a large corp means that flexibility in how things are or can be done isnt easily achieved.

      I worked at GlaxoSmithKline

      Pros

      Great group of professional people all committed to success. Lots of opportunities to learn new things and processes to to ensure disciplined work ethic.

      Cons

      Management (globally and locally) always changing strategies and over-reacting rather than staying on course. Expectations are high for productivity and work-life balance is impacted. Empowerment is preached but rarely practiced.

      Positive Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at GlaxoSmithKline full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      - Benefits are solid (401k match, pension plan, health care) - Managers generally flexible if you leave early for appointments - People are very helpful if you have questions

      Cons

      - Pay is below industry in the area - Commercial manufacturing support hours are scheduled around the manufacturing process, so you can get calls even when off / out of the office - Poor work-life balance - A lot of politics and red tape to get any simple thing done - Fixed bonus structures so it's based on tenure and not your actual performance anymore, so you have a lot of loafers that don't do enough but still get paid as much if not more because they've been with the company longer - Change is poorly managed (parking, people seating allocations)
