      Pros

      People and pay are top in industry.

      Cons

      Losing patents and good people - constant downsizing is demoralizing talented workforce. Long history of doing right by employees has not been the case in last 5 years or so. The R&D is not that productive and the legal pitfalls have become numerous. A great place to pick up selling skills as well as management and leadership opportunities. Many Pfizer people in smaller companies are prospering from their experiences there.

      Pros

      In the Research realm, the resources and scientific capabilties were extraordinary. At the La Jolla site, the legacy of scientific integrity survived for a number of years beyond the acquisition by Pfizer but suffered in recent years.

      Cons

      The quality of the decision-making at the site governance and global leadership levels was abysmal. New strategies were paraded out with great fanfare and then abandoned within a year or two simply because a new guy took over at the top.
