Pros

No expectations since the majority are totally inept. The hours kept are minimal and the hours there are not required to be productive. The benefits package is very good and you can't beat the location - right near Grand Central. A typical day for any employee consists of back to back meetings so no work is actually ever really required of anyone. It's common to see people coming in around 10-11 am and leaving around 4 pm. Unfortunately, the co did away with half day Fridays and the company store. If you want a career where you can get paid for chair warming, PFE is the place for you.

Cons

Those same inept people eventually get promotions despite reporting fictitiously earned degrees from made up schools (Amerigus U doesn't exist!). Eventually it has a tremendous negative impact on the firm. It also disincentivizes the few valuable employees who are actually doing the work. PFE could fire half the staff and see no change in operations other than increased efficiency.

Pros

Subsidized cafeteria. It's in New York City.

Cons

Pfizer does not hire new people, instead they contract out the work. I put in two and a half years as a contractor at $45,000 per year in a very specific dpeartment. They held out a carrot in that I would eventually earn a position. In the end, ten years out of college, I was replaced by a 24-year-old intern who had no experience in that department. That intern now makes at least $90,000 as a full employee.
