GlaxoSmithKline Employee Reviews

The job is ok, but the culture is disgusting! They proclaim inclusivity only because you don't work there, but internally they are horrible people, cliquey environment and willing to throw you under the bus for an actual hi-five and a fake friendship. Moneys good, but this place is a wolves den!

Inexperienced leaders bringing in endless consultants to "improve perfotmance" means no one knows what they're doing. Poor decision making

The last year has seen a drastic lack of accountability and compassion from senior leaders who are arrogant, inconsistent and inexperienced. The rhetoric of becoming a top quartile company would carry more weight if they led by example

Manager thankfully resigned but the ET is all about the process

Communication, respect and trust - there's a lot of VP but a very hierarchical top down approach

My package is not good, as policy the company will pay long service award but they manipulate to not compensate it for me

Can buy extra holiday every November

Simply put, if the company can turn down a 50 billion dollar acquisition, then they can afford to pay more to people busting their hump for a 12 hour shift!

Not competitive pay, lack of opportunity based on location and inconsistent management

Some are very knowledgeable and sharing

Motivation and expertise. Willingness to learn from others

Communication, inclusivity, professionalism, verbiage, dialogue and personal space. Most people just want to survive 12hr shifts, not take coworkers home and become family. Coworkers need to learn that everyone is not hires to be friends, but were hired to do a job and go home.

Friendships, cliques, boundaries, professionalism, stop hiring kids fresh out of college because they make the environment hostile, willingness to help others learn and grow and most importantly communication

Change in management and more joined up thinking on changes. Decent pipeline would help

Empower all those VPs, stop hiring people in senior positions because their friends with SVP.

Easy questions and nice panel

They make you feel like you got what they're looking for and when you get Onboarding complete, your past experiences are a joke to them

Add in assessments re personality and culture fit

Culture, collaboration, salary, benefit, environment

Peace and quiet! Not having to tell everyone my daily life story just to be considered a good worker as apposed to my willingness to work hard

Clueless leaders, weak management and poor pipeline

Top down, mistrustful senior leaders - assume they know everything and others are idiots.

Colleagues are great, very committed

Culture, leadership, diversity in thought
