      Very low morale at entire site

      Pros

      Many opportunities to learn various tasks.

      Cons

      Extreme pressure to meet very aggressive timelines. Many coworkers ("colleagues") work regularly late into the night and weekends due to workload. We are told to "do more with less" and be "comfortably over-committed". Very low morale at entire site. Many have no pride in the company name.

      Pros

      You can get the opportunity to work on lots of projects always something in development, And if you align yourself with the right people you can learn a lot. Opportunities for professional development is varied. The culture in itself demands that you are proactive and like to take initiative. They like it also when you show problem solving capabilities. Families life is valued works well if you're a working mother

      Cons

      Not much happening for you if you are not in sales. I sort of understood that if you weren't a rep/military certain jobs weren't open to you but I think it became pervasive for most of the positions.

      For the first 18 yers, it was wonderful; for the last 5 years it was hellish due to incompetent management.

      Pros

      Great benefits; high-end salaries; many mid-level employees who want to do the right thing despite the lack of senior management support.

      Cons

      Until Pfizer figures out who it wants to be (or discovers a new drug), the company will continue to be in chaos. The key word at Pfizer was once "integrity." From my perspective, the new words are: view legacy staff as "old-school" and then hire managers from the outside, provide hugh sign-on bonuses, discover that they are in fact incompetent and only interested in lining their own pockets, and then pay them to leave. When Pfizer managment understood the pharamaceutival industry, as the current administration does not (except for the lame duck CEO), Pfizer was a great company. Once senior management was replaced by people with no long-term vision, it was the beginning of the end. If you accept a job at Pfizer, remember the name of the game is not speaking your mind about anything, ever. Just say yes and collect a big fat paycheck. If you want to understand Pfizer, read the aricle "Inside Pfizer's Palace Coup" published on July 28, 2011.
