Pros

GSK maintains competitive salaries, a fun/fast-paced work environment, and great company values. They also hire and retain some of the smartest talent in the industry. This is a great company to work for as an new graduate or mid-career professional. I wouldn't want to work for any other company.

Cons

The pharmaceutical industry is volatile and, at times, there is not a great feeling of job security.
