Good benefits- poor management

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Pfizer has good benefits and good compensation packages which are on par with other pharmaceutical companies. The people I worked with were also excellent.

Cons

Pfizer has poor management and poor communication. I am not proud of working there. I don't believe in the company's business practices and don't believe that they have any R&D pipeline. Instead, they continue to just acquire other companies (Wyeth being the most recent example) that actually have products.

I enjoy working at the company, just wish that support staff was treated with the same respect as salaried staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, competitive salaries, backed up by a Fortune 40 company, global company with infinite possibilities for development, plenty of resources.

Cons

Lack of parity between support staff and salaried staff with regards to flexibility, and work/life balance. Never knowing if your job will be eliminated in the next wave of lay offs. The stigma of working for "Big Pharma".

Pros

Technology Work Life Balance- get out at 2pm on Fridays April - October Salary Benefits (which are getting progressively worse)

Cons

Constant layoffs. Literally constant. There are always people being let go. No Bonuses (i.e. pay for performance only at high levels) Poor management (i.e. Mary McDowell, Roxanne Lagano, Kethy Kessel, etc.) in HR Abundance of politics and cronyism
