Pros

Great benefits. Comparable compensation to the rest of the industry.

Cons

Where should I start. There's the ever-present dark cloud of downsizing hanging over our heads. Upper management primarily is only looking out for themselves, and those that might want to change the culture haven't got the power or influence to actually change anything.

Pros

You get to work with a lot of very smart people and the salaries are generally competitive.

Cons

The instability of the company and continued downsizing. There is limitless bureaucracy and new processes are constantly rolled out when they aren't usually necessary. A lot of the older people who have been at Pfizer seem to work 9-4 and aren't very interested in change.

Pros

Great benefits and vacation/holiday time.

Cons

Paralyzed with indecision. Then, when a decision is made, it makes things worse. Things have been spiraling out of control for years. Too many layers of middle management, who essentially do nothing. My boss's boss was famous for that. Working approx. 6 hours a day...or should I say present for 6 hours, but usually on personal phone calls or attempting to manage up to a better position. Even though a consulting firm recommended Pfizer NOT outsource our team, Pfizer in it's infinite wisdom decided to do just that, and this manager stood idly by...spending his days looking for a new position as the boat sank.
