Pros
Pfizer has all the typical pros (and cons) of working at a large company. Since there is such a huge amount of institutional knowledge, Pfizer is a great place to start a career and learn the basics of your profession. Generally speaking the culture is laid back, although culture does vary between the various locations and internal organizations.
Cons
Working at such a large organization means that change occurs at a glacial pace. Low turnover (especially among senior colleagues) means advancement can be quite difficult. Poor track record for internal development of drugs leads Pfizer to under-fund certain R&D functions.
