Professional work enviornment with excellent training,compensation and benefits. Thoroughly enjoyed working with all of my coworkers.
Senior Executive Sales Representative (Former Employee), Reston, VA – April 23, 2013
Pros: managed my own territory and business plan that enabled me to develop strong relationships, i gained an extensive knowledge of pharmacology over a broad range of therapeutic areas
Cons: too many meetings that kept the sales force out of the field
After working in the medical industry for many years I found GLAXOSMITHKLINE to be one of the best as an industry leader in product development and research as well as compensation. It was a wonderful work enviornment that provided ongoing training in a professional enviornment. My customer base was primarily Specialist in the Northern Virginia area – more... and after years of being gone I still maintain relationships with many of my former clients and coworkers. The corporate culture was family friendly lending itself to a healthy work/life balance. – less

Social Responsibility, Incredible Science and Great Place to Work
Senior Scientist (Former Employee), Waltham, MA – March 27, 2013
Pros: excellent science, strong sense of transparency, social responsibility and development of staff
Cons: slightly lacking in skilled scientific managers
I loved working here and would go back in a heartbeat. Excellent science, high-value placed on innovation, creativity and pushing boundaries, failure is an option, fluidic structure and approaches, recognition of achievements, just all around a great place to work.

GSK spends a lot of time and money developing their corporate culture as well and loves – more... it when people get involved. There is a huge value placed on social responsibility in the company and it shows. One example is Orange Day. It's like a vacation day to do volunteer work in your community. Every employee gets one and is highly encouraged to use them. If you organize a group, you can get a budget. When I worked there, I organized a group to help a special needs camp prepare for their season. With 20 or so people I got a multi-thousand dollar budget to pay for supplies and make improvements to the camp. I left the company two years ago and I still organize this Orange Day, and still get a budget....crazy... – less
