Pros

A global corporation whith important challenges and the resources to find the solutions and growth. Pfizer supports innovation and creativity and also is trying to be as fast as a mid size company with out loosing its basic management controls. The internal resources are great, there is no reason to not do your job, Training, Knowledge, Support, Collaboartion, all is avaialble at Pfizer. Some Executive Directors are really role models, the vision and the mission of the company is thru and not only a sentence in a piece of paper. You can live the values. The company also beleive in its employees

Cons

the challenges do not have a solution yet (as far as we know) and all the time staff cuts are the solution to keep the numbers for Wall Street It is very difficult to grow inside Pfizer and when you finally do it, HR tries to give you a very small compensation

Pros

Challenging work - you are largely in charge of your own destiny and can find interesting / challenging projects to fill your time with

Cons

Layoffs and plant closings make motivation difficult. Advancement is at the whim of management - sure this is always the case - but past a certain level it depends largely on what upper management thinks of you. If you are a contrarian or if you don't really care what management thinks of you, you need to think of another way to get recognized - and even then it probably won't work. "Yes men" rule.

Pros

Best products on the market. The best people in the business. When you tell anyone you work for Pfizer it provides an instant recognition that you are providing goods things for the world.

Cons

Expectations with regard to time spent working. What is a "day off?". Very top down with little praise, recognition or support of it's people. This company is run more like a military organization than a public company. When stock is still lower than it was 10 years ago it is time to ask a different set of people what needs to change.
