Pros

People I worked with were good people, and use of technology was cutting edge for big pharma.

Cons

Pfizer really couldn't care less about its employees. After they took over Wyeth, I had two phone conversations with my new boss in over a year, the first of which was to inform me that I would be losing my job sometime that year. Didn't return calls or emails after that.
