      Used to be a great place to work--not anymore

      Pros

      Salary and benefits were among the best. The in-house fitness center was a great perk.

      Cons

      The people that came in under Kindler and McKinnel (who are both now gone) were not a good fit within Pfizer culture. All the good things about the company left with Steere---including shareholder ROI.

      Good benefits- poor management

      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.

      Pfizer used to be a great company but has lost its way

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Knowledgeable colleagues help make the work enviroment bearable, but the type of colleagues one interacts with varies from area to area. Some areas are intensely competitive such as in clinical, where PhDs seem to dislike MDs and work to undermine them. In ohter areas-science driven, the work atmosphere is much better and more positiivve.

      Cons

      Criteria for promotions in clinical are kept secret and are applied in unfair ways. There is a prevailing atmosphere of negative politics, competitiveness, and backstabbing in order for one's colleagues to get ahead. Managament decision-making is erratic and inconsistent, leading to a lack of confidence in leadership and the feeling of being adrift.
