Pros

Company offers comepetitive salary & benefits. Overall you get great satisfaction of the work and great people around you to work with.

Cons

High turnaround of colleagues and the roles are short lived which makes it difficult to focus on long term solid strategy and everybody is focused on achieving short term results.

Good company to work for but you need to accept that change is the only constant.

Pros

I work from home so job flexibility is huge. Also, the benefits are good with company including car, expenses, health benefits, etc. (although these have all gotten worse in the past couple of years). Pfizer as a company isn't going away.

Cons

Ever tightening legal and regulatory changes make the job challenging. I would say the biggest downside right now is job security.
