The people and culture make working for GSK very enjoyable

The opportunity to develop into areas that are of great interest, as well as the overall team environment.

The role was sometimes too repetitive.
The work itself wasn't aligned to my work goals and career aspirations, possibly the job description wasn't accurate when I applied.
Complex structures and multiple locations made it hard to service all businesses equally
