I had a great run, but I am happy to be gone.

Pros

Pfizer, historically was a great company to work for. Excellent values, integrity, innovative and with a mission that helped to serve humanity. there are still lots of god people, but the pressures of the business have changed the culture for the worse.

Cons

While the company still has significant strength and financial resources. The lack of a coherent strategy and the relentless cost cutting and downsizing have created a very stressful culture. The mission has shifted from helping humanity and running a good business to "it's all about the money." Ian has a major mountain to climb. He is doing better than I thought he would - figures an "old time Pfizer" guy might make the right difference.

Pros

Opportunity to work on curing cancer or diabetes or Alzheimer's Lots of smart, motivated people in the company Can learn about developing drugs in the real world Great individuals can make a difference here, have seen it happen

Cons

Seriously incompetent senior management With a company this big and bureaucratic, there are lots of people who are mediocre or worse Intense internal politics driving critical decisions, from corporate strategy down to your promotion
