      Pros

      Compensation is excellent. Benefits are better than my previous companies.

      Cons

      You are expected to work and be available at all times. No work-life balance. Every project is an emergency - no one plans ahead. People are very disrespectful to others. If you do not respond to email within a few minutes, they escalate to upper management. You are expected to be communicating in IM and emails even during meetings. No one bothers to busy-search calendars; they just schedule you when convenient for them and expect you to show up. A large percentage of these meetings are scheduled same-day or the day before, but after hours.

      Pros

      Very collaborative environment and open communication Sr. Management is being visionary and understands the changing environment in the industry. Uses the power of being the #1 pharmaceutical company as a change agent in the external environment

      Cons

      Pfizer is still living in the days of having tremendous revenues, therefore there are too many people without clear responsibilities. This will need to change as major drugs go off patent. They love to hire consultants, despite having talented people who can do the same work.

      Pros

      the things that are left are still valuable (but doubtless outsourced soon) it's not as bad as other pharma atm you can still get science done if you try

      Cons

      everything is done to a cost, regardless, and you get what you pay for people are waiting for a payout success in spite of not because of
