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

Pfizer vs Wyeth

Pros

Solid and agressive company with good business oriented mentality culture for a pharmaceutical company so full of technical/scientific background people.

Cons

I became part of Pfizer with the recent acquisition of Wyeth so comparing both companies, I have to admit that Wyeth was a much more organized company with a bigger commitment to doing things right that Pfizer. A bit dissapointed of Pfizer, I was expecting more from such a successful pharma company. I guess their success relies more on their good pipeline of products and their R&D. In manufacturing they have a lot to learn from Wyeth or other companies I have worked for before like J&J.
