Pros

Pfizer pays well and has a really good benefits package. Each year it does seem that the benefits are rolled back a bit though. Since the company is so large, you have access to some great tools to do your job, and a big global network of committed individuals with whom you can work. If you have a co-operative manager, you can have quite a bit of flexibility in how you get your job done, provided you show results.

Cons

Oh, the reorgs.... You have to have pretty thick skin to try and ignore the rumors that start flying every year or so. It is painful, disheartening and unmotivating. You really can't become emotionally attached to your job, but perhaps that is just the way all businesses are these days.

Pros

Compansation for new hires is sompetative. Scientifically progressive. Encourages communication among collegues and for people to reach outside of their comfort zones.

Cons

Always the fear of being laid off. Consistent restructuring inhibits employee development, negatively affects moral and prohibits company from making the most from its talent.
