Pros

Talent, resources and most importantly, the products, to make the work meaningful, rewarding and challenging. Pfizer does offer significant development training opportunities, for those with ambition to secure and pursue. We typically always have a seat at the table for important negotiations with customers. Great leadership for the most part.

Cons

It may be a harsh truth, but people are disposable. Pfizer tends to take this to a point where we are just numbers and not people. Certainly not family. Truly caring for your people is a way to improve the culture to a point where everyone WANTS to work harder, do more and succeed. This is most evident in our R&D group, but even Sales and Marketing. Years of layoffs and restructures have taken a toll.

Pros

Training ground for entry level associates

Cons

Culture is still horrible and middle management still has that 'fear' mentality instilled. Ian Read tries to change the culture but reaching middle management has to be the key with employee facing initiatives to instill a more innovative core. It is still VERY VERY hierarchical..
