Pros

Cannot think of one good thing to say about Pfizer IT. Seriously.

Cons

It's considered cool to yell at people in meetings. Layoffs occur every two weeks like clockwork.

Pfizer Kalamazoo - what a ride!!!!

Senior manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

These have been absolutely the best people with whom I have ever worked!!!! There is no challenge too large or unique that they will not take on and just completely "crush it!" - Overachieve

Cons

Leadership - senior level for site andtheir superiors, are out of touch with the shop floor workers and too wrapped up in their egos! No decisions can be decentralized - everything is very much dictated and micro-managed in spite of the massive amounts of talent and creativity at the Site!

Great pay and benefits but management is nepotistic. Image is more important than qualifications.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Good work life balance.

Cons

You better be in good with management if you want to be promoted or move around. Integrity and respect have been lost among the management. The promotion requirements are obscure. The company is too large.
