Pros

Kindler and Frank the Tank have Pfizer moving in the right direction. The stock price is on the rise and they have found a way to make up for the waste that is Pfizer R&D. Excellent Brand Mgt & Sales.

Cons

Clear Direction from CEO, CFO but IT sucks. IT has poor Sr. Leadership, Poor Middle Mgt, lack of creativity, lack of decision making and that translates into employees that don't care any more.
