Pros

If you have a good manager it can be great. You can jump from role to role easily if they like you.

Cons

- Pfizer’s acquisition of Seagen destroyed the great culture we had in Bothell. - Pfizer’s culture is a popularity contest, especially in the New York scene. They admit as much in department meetings. They'll keep bringing back people they laid off if they like them, despite incompetence or job qualifications. - I've never had a more toxic manager or experience than at Pfizer. If the manager doesn't like you or doesn't want to hear your ideas, the accepted culture is to quiet fire people until they leave. (So I left, rather than be treated like garbage.) - They want robots to follow orders, no creative or innovative ideas welcome. They hide their true intentions under a disguise of being collaborative. - toxic leadership is encouraged to be as such and defended by HR

Many learning opportunities, Lean six sigma, kaizen, for manufacturing enviroment. Grateful for the training and learning opportunities and transferrable skills. Pfizer is a great manufacturing company that has many learning and training development. Met some of the nicest , and wonderful colleagues and mentor here in Pfizer

Cons

Insane work load due to manpower headcount budgeting ( 1 person running a minimum of 3 person workload) Be expected to the long working hour and ridiculous dateline. Salary is very low compared to other industry and the remuneration is not worth the torture and mental health. Change in the management with huge influx from A particular competitor company that has a total complete different culture as the PFIZER culture. The management SLTs do not embrace and encourage Pfizer culture. The management SLTs are only focus on deliverables and minimum care to employees well being and growth. TUAS sg site. Any one who wishes to avoid mental Health (depression, work anxiety) - look elsewhere. Any one who wishes to start a work life balance- you are in the wrong place.
