Pros

Compensation is excellent. Benefits are better than my previous companies.

Cons

You are expected to work and be available at all times. No work-life balance. Every project is an emergency - no one plans ahead. People are very disrespectful to others. If you do not respond to email within a few minutes, they escalate to upper management. You are expected to be communicating in IM and emails even during meetings. No one bothers to busy-search calendars; they just schedule you when convenient for them and expect you to show up. A large percentage of these meetings are scheduled same-day or the day before, but after hours.

Pros

Legacy Wyeth employee, so I actually identify more with Wyeth than Pfizer. As Wyeth, very fair pay and benefits. Room for advancement and excellent work environment. Overall very satisfied as a Wyeth employee.

Cons

The biggest downside was being the victim of downsizing due to the Pfizer/Wyeth merger. I never got a full sense of the Pfizer downsides otherwise.
