      Pros

      The vision, the mission, the people - for me, it's a perfect place to be. GSK has nearly 100,000 employees, but everyone I worked with was an actual person, a human being who cares about the patient at the end of the supply chain. It's a busy company to work for, with lots of activity which makes it fun and interesting.

      Cons

      Nothing, genuinely. Seems like a paid review but it's not.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We work hard to make GSK a place where everyone can thrive, and we’re glad to hear about your experience.

    2. How does promotion work in different companies. At GSK, you can only go up by applying for a new role. Is this the same across other pharma companies?

      That's kind of the new norm I would think...unfortunate.

      3. Can someone advise if a career switch from GSK to Eli Lilly makes sense? In terms of career growth, opportunities, culture etc? My current role is Global and the one i am checking for is a local role.

      4. Hi, just wondering how much maternity leave Janssen and Merk offer? GSK will be offering 18 weeks starting in 2023, wondering how other companies in the area compare. Also curious if there is a minimum amount of time you need to work before the benefits kick in?

        Usually you have to work there for 1 year before you are eligible for benefits

      hey guys, i’m an early career professional and I recently interviewed for an entry level role in procurement. is it a red flag if it was hinted / mentioned a few times during the interviews that the role will be stressful? 🥲 I haven’t done much interviewing as I’m pretty fresh in my career so for them to explicitly mention it will be stressful was a first
