Meaningful manufacturing operations of lifesaving drugs
Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Worthing, West Sussex - 21 April 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedGreat pay and conditions, pensions, share Save, flexible working, great development opportunities for those that want them. I worked for GSK for 30 years and changed roles 10 times from R&D to Manufacturing, Project roles etc. Lack of long term strategy for the Worthing Site has led to redundancies and reduced headcount and spiralling costs. Nevertheless I would recommend GSK as a great place to work.
Pros
Pensions, Shares, Generous redundancy terms, Development, Caring workforce
Cons
Site Leadership directionless and constant change of Site Director every 2 years

People 9-5 oriented money not to save the world .A lot of socialism.Not m.i.t spirit Not Harvard spirit.Standard jobs for standards people .But that mentality is not for everyone.

Poor place to work more intent on reducing headcount than production
Manager (Former Employee) - Worthing, West Sussex - 24 March 2022
Their strap line is "there is a patient at the end of the supply chain" which is great unless you are an employee where you are just a commodity. There is a blame culture that spreads from the Senior Management team down to supervisory level
Pros
None
Cons
Poor place to work

Wonderful experience working at GSK
Packaging Performance Manager - Key Achievements (Former Employee) - Brentford - 27 February 2022
It was easily the most impressive site I have ever worked at. I was fortunate to be able to travel internationally on various global and regional projects. The people were professional and friendly. Thank you for my 9 years at GSK.

Great pay and perks. Flexible working hours and work from home.
Analyst (Former Employee) - Brentford, Greater London - 6 February 2022
I had lovely managers and team members. People had worked there a long time which made progression difficult as always felt like the new person. A lot of variation with working from home depending on managers which wasn’t very fair on some colleagues.
Pros
Salary, which increased each year with cost of living, bonus, working hours, flexibility and compassion for leave etc.
Cons
Way too many redundancies. Saw it time and time again. No progression either, people unwilling to share skills with each other.
