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Some outdated and overly time-consuming processes (but the company has provided reassuring dialogue that these are being worked on)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