Pros

Strong patient-focused mission - Knowing that your work contributes to improving the health and well-being of patients around the world gives a real sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Cons

While GSK promotes a strong culture built on accountability, respect, inclusion, fairness, equity, well-being, and patient focus, there can be a noticeable gap between these values and their day-to-day implementation in certain local affiliates. This inconsistency can affect employee engagement, trust, well-being, and the overall workplace experience, creating a disconnect between the culture employees expect and the one they experience.
