Pros

Strong position in the global vaccines market Expansion in Asia through joint ventures Substantial pipeline of new prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines Leading position in adjuvant technology

Cons

Currently implementing a "smart working" (open office, no assigned spaces) office environment in many parts of the business, which is a terrible work environment compared to what was the norm until 2012 Cost cutting is reducing opportinities for profesional development Moving more toward use of "in contractors" rather than employees in many functions Not enough interaction with other parts of GSK in areas of mutual interst, such as nonclincial safety, and too much of a "stove pipe" mentality in Belgian operations Too much bureaucracy in many functions, especially for contracts and publications

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
