Pros

Terrific place to extend one's knowledge significantly. If you want to stay 'static' at your level you can....if you wish to keep growing, there are plenty of opportunities. Hard work and commitment is paid off. Some brilliant minds work here - LEARN from them. Salaries and benefits are great. The best supervisor in my entire career to date has been while at Pfizer. Energetic & high visibility ERG groups as well.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging. Pfizer pays well...but expect you to work very hard.This will & can be a challenge. Can be a bit of a "big boy's club" at times. Gender imbalances at the top. Had one supervisor, fortunately the only one in my career to date, the used malicious and very underhand workplace bullying. Fortunately, I was able to move after 8 months but he was awful. Be aware it can happen anywhere. The pros at Pfizer, however, far outweighed the cons though!

Pros

I worked with the smartest people at Pfizer. They do a great job of recruiting and hiring the best. Great benefits as well.

Cons

The corporate culture is extremely silo-ed. You can give your input and opinion, but don't expect it to be considered unless you are VP and above (I was a director). Don't expect to make friends here. It's heads down, closed doors work. When I left, the internal company slogan was "OWN IT," and I kid you not when I say that the N in Own It literally stood for "No jerks." Needless to say, there are a lot of jerks.
