A once proud Pfizer now faltering...Too much change and Poor leadership to blame

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company so many opportunities for career development. Good- great compensation packages. Lots of policies and SOPs if one likes rigid framework for work environment.

Cons

New management can not fix problems of past quickly enough to save company from poor growth and dismal morale. Multiple mergers, poor organizational structure, and no R&D productivity spells huge cutbacks. Long time for middle management to make decisions.

Pros

There can be good opportunities at Pfizer if you work in the right areas. A lot of good people work at Pfizer. The company is flexible and allows some work from home, which helps in the quest for work-life balance.

Cons

The flip side to the work-life flexibility is the "blackberry culture" in which many workers are never really off. Communications across departments and business units are not strong. It can sometimes be challenging to get basic information. There seems to be a preference for speed over efficiency.
