It's OK!

Business Outlook

Pros

Pfizer offers flexible work conditions. Benifits are competitive to other peer pharma companies.

Cons

The company has poor pipeline. It is totally about return to share holder equity. Layoff/ survival is name of the game. If you work in manufacturing then tough luck, because Pfizer buys companies and works really hard to outsource manufacturing to out of U.S. If you work in research, then it it's outsourced to asia, unless you are in biological research.
