Pros

Very collaborative environment and open communication Sr. Management is being visionary and understands the changing environment in the industry. Uses the power of being the #1 pharmaceutical company as a change agent in the external environment

Cons

Pfizer is still living in the days of having tremendous revenues, therefore there are too many people without clear responsibilities. This will need to change as major drugs go off patent. They love to hire consultants, despite having talented people who can do the same work.

Pros

At La Jolla site there is diversity, very smart co-workers, interesting research and development opportunities, an on-site gym and walking trail, and great San Diego views.

Cons

Work-life balance can often be out of whack, teleconferences often occur at wacky hours since the La Jolla site is at the end of the time-zone chain.

Pros

Good pay, great flexibility, great training throughout your career, global recognition of this employer, opportunity to work face to face with customers

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy, not very many opportunities to get promoted particularly if you do not have a lot of tenure, lack of trust in the integrity of the sales data, companies outside of pharma tend not to respect the indirect sales nature of pharma
