Executive Analyst Review

I really enjoyed my placement at GSK, I would recommend it to anyone - Never could I grasped so much experience in such a short time frame at this stage at my career without doing this placement with GSK. It's a welcoming workplace and I'd loved to return in my future.

I felt very valued and treated well by my colleagues and everyone across GSK House, superb community and culture here. I can't thank everyone enough for being so warming to me and ensuring my transition in and out of the company was so smooth and so easy. Superb is all I can say.

My manager was pretty good, I did feel that had a lot on their plate and it was difficult for them to manage multiple direct reports of theirs over the course of the year. But otherwise I had a decent amount of support when we had our 1:1's to get on track.

At the beginning there was much less workload overall but by the end of my end of my placement I had the perfect amount of work that kept me on my toes and very busy every day until close of business. Great workload overall I would say once I fully moved into the role.

Fairly decent amount of responsibility, just as much as my colleagues at the end of the placement which was expected but I would've liked to be seen as identical to my peers by the end. Every role is different of course and some IP roles I know in the department replaced full-time working positions due to how useful and integral the industrial placement student became.

I think the IP scheme is slightly disjointed to my university studies but this is to be expected as degrees cover much wider aspects whereas many career roles focus on one subject. However I did get to delve into multiple areas to learn more about the impact of these in the real world.

Definitely a great atmosphere in the office, there's a real togetherness and great community feeling in GSK. The work culture is great and social media is full of positive stories about what happens at GSK. It's very impressive and it's very welcoming, calm and also fun for special, specific department events.

There are two different grad schemes that are exciting and are already available to be applied for, It's great that there are multiple offerings for future prospects for employment. GSK is great for this and the direct hire route is also possible if you don't want to be tied into a three year course.

Social scene is superb, London has many great bars and restaurants that are great for celebratory dinners and lunches - GSK is greatly located and it's never boring in this area. It's definitely worth moving down here for placement, it's very exciting and there's plenty to do in the area, I would recommend.

Nightlife is superb, London has many great bars and restaurants that are great for celebratory dinners and lunches - GSK is greatly located and it's never boring in this area. It's definitely worth moving down here for placement, it's very exciting and there's plenty to do in the area, I would recommend.

There were plenty of opportunities for charity events and work parties that really were a great highlight of my time at GSK. The photos and the memories of the activities outside of work are going to be cherished and I cannot thank GSK enough for their time and resources on placement.
