Pros

One of the original biopharmas in Ireland. 20 years plus in this field. Easy to join as they can't get staff.

Cons

60hr weeks every second week as standard. Your health will suffer here. Both physical and mental. Zero work life balance with 12hr shifts on both days and nights. Very untrustworthy management in general. Absolutely zero respect for people or their families. HR is so out of touch it's almost funny. Arrogant and nasty is their general demeanour. I could not recommend Pfizer as a place of work if you have any respect for yourself or others. If you want to progress your career this is not the place. It'll do as a dead end job or stop gap but be aware salaries are well below market average. If you are a sociopath you will thrive, the place is full of them.

Pros

- Some really nice and helpful colleagues - Average remuneration

Cons

- Too much red tape - Poor communication between departments - Poor onboarding process - Expected to work ridiculous hours - Too much onus on engineering to fix everyone's problems (e.g. Production requested for a vacuum cleaner to assembled by the reliability engineer or fitter) - No sequential approach to a problem, constant firefighting (would rather rush to meet deadline than get the job done correctly) - Training modules to be completed are beyond ludicrous (I was assigned 158 modules, the day that I started). No time allocation for the completion of training, I spent many Sunday afternoons completing them.
