      My experience was very positive until the last 3 years when Senior Management lacked focus.

      Pros

      My co-workers in the trenches are generally sincerely dedicated professionals who want to make a difference in the world and contribute to making medicines. Every day they look for ways to improve how things are done.

      Cons

      Senior management does not have a sustainable vision for the future of the company. They need to engage the scientists and support staff better, but they are not comitted to long-term successful R&D.

      Tremendous opportunities, but constant pressure to work harder and reduce costs (e.g., cut headcount).

      Pros

      Pfizer is a large, global company with many opportunities to work and travel internationally. They continue to generate tons of cash which gives them flexibility and opportunities to buy other firms. They do offer very flexible work arrangements and you are expected to work from whereever you are are. It's not always necessary to come to the office.

      Cons

      Their sheer size makes it easy to get lost. The constant acquisitions followed by downsizing puts pressure on everyone to perform. Laying people off has become a core competency as people are layed off in waves.
