nyse:gsk https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=3477 Apr 28th, 2024 12:00AM Open Open GSK Finace Analyst Sudan, TX ts/confidential informatio ) A good benefits package/resources A big company will have better access to valuable resources for each of their employee's learning and career development, and therefore in the long-term, it's their company and people who will benefit. Some corporate benefits may even extend to family members and go beyond, like the Campbell Soup Company, which provides kindergarten, daycare, and after-school programs for employees’ children under 12 years old. 2) The brand’s reputation adds value to your resume Big companies are usually already well-known and successful in their respective industries, so having them on your resume could help boost your chances of obtaining future significant roles with other big players. Coupled with working alongside well-connected colleagues and bosses, it could also provide you with better exposure to a network of industry peers and leaders. 3) Structured, organised work Every person has a clearly defined set of responsibilities and hat to wear (read: only a specific role you have to focus on), and the work is distributed equally to highly-skilled people who specialise in that field. Big companies often have established a clear-cut way of doing things, and there are guidelines and SOPs for everything, which ensures that there's little room for misunderstandings in who does what. 1) Lack of exposure to other facets of the business Although you have a clearly defined role and the luxury of switching careers within the company, you might not be able to explore other projects beyond your scope of work, or even to pick up new skills. For example, it would be difficult for a graphic designer to explore the role of relationship management because those shoes have already been filled, and big companies are less likely to select someone who's never been trained in that field before. 2) Hierarchical, top-down communication Even as the world embraces a hybrid working environment or even fully-remote positions, the upper management still has the final say, which can be challenging for employees who prefer autonomy in decisions. Your boss says that you need to follow that 20-step manual on how to complete a project, even though you can do it in 3 steps? Your boss insists that you travel 3 hours to physically be in the office even though you’re much more productive at home because you have to follow company policy? All we have to say is: Stay strong! 3) Too many employees, too much competition If you want to make your mark and be recognised for your achievements, it can be quite tricky to do so in a competitive talent pool, where everyone is fighting for the same thing (i.e. the attention of the boss!). Others may even try to tear you down in their climb to the top. Nobody likes catty co-workers, but unfortunately, it’s not against (most) company policies to be ruthless.

The project may not even receive the green light at all, or with much different results than what was originally planned for. 5) Stuffy and tight security By security, we mean the IT side of things: Computer passwords, VPNs, two-factor authentication, RFID badges, biometrics, etc. When employees work from home or in public spaces, there’s a heightened risk of top-secret internal information that could accidentally be leaked or hacked into – a definite nightmare for any big company. 0.0 3.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 3477 Open 0.0 [{"countHelpful": 0, "languageId": "eng", "userJobTitle": "Employer Branding Specialist", "__typename": "EmployerResponse", "originalLanguageId": null, "id": 5395411, "responseDateTime": "2024-04-30T03:29:11.937", "translationMethod": null, "response": "Your feedback is important to us, so thank you for leaving a review.
