Senior Account Manager( vaccines) (Former Employee) - Field Sales - 23 June 2022
I had 12 yrs at pre and post merger companies both had their pros and cons. In the main a meritocracy until high growth meant quotas in promotion and led to the appraisal train which was often de motivating. Management by metrics sadly replaced true leadership and a peer coaching culture was viewed by some as alien technology and eradicated Loss of market share led to shrinkage in sales force eventually becoming largely a telesales outfit
Pros
Some good leaders and sometimes real engagement
Cons
Management by numbers

Process technician
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technician (Former Employee) - Worthing - 9 June 2022
Good at the time. Was contracting. Company was changing priorities at the time so ended up training my own replacement (was on a contract role) and lied to about it. Otherwise great company.

Good environment
Thermal Insulator (Former Employee) - Irvine, North Ayrshire - 21 May 2022
Having been working on &off .at various pharmaceutical &nuclear sites .I've never really been asked the questions of how you rate your job .generally most of our tasks are repetitive. On some odd occasions you come up with a solving solution. Which is fine as long as your still willing to learn &someone is willing to teach you .which I've never found a problem with .I would call it industrial learning .on site . So I find my experience counts .

Boring
TECHNICIAN QUALITY (Former Employee) - Worthing, West Sussex - 2 May 2022
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.

Jobs at GSK
Meaningful manufacturing operations of lifesaving drugs
Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Worthing, West Sussex - 21 April 2022
Great 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
