      Pros

      Pfizer has good benefits (medical, 401K match, company car) and they tend to pay a competitive base salary with fairly decent bonus. I have worked in both the brand side and generic side of Pfizer and both have been good experiences. The company has changed a lot over the years but continues to move forward. For the most part, I've always had the autonomy to do my job and own my territory. Since there are so many different businesses, there are many opportunities for career development especially if you're willing to move and possibly work in New York headquarters.

      Cons

      Since Pfizer is in constant change, there seems to be field force reductions nearly every year which can be unsettling. Also, the company has become more impersonal in my opinion due to the many acquisitions they have made over the years. There are many different businesses and many different cultures that have been put combined.

      Pros

      Pfizer is great company with over 165 years of experience in the healthcare industry! Its first-class products and ground-breaking therapies set the tone in the pharmaceutical industry! First in-class products tend to be the standard with Pfizer and they create markets and change the physician treatment paradigms by providing them with dialogue to better engage their patients. Their disease-management programs and community outreach are second-to-none. Pfizer's philanthropy is also tops in the industry! They give more money to charities and donate more medicines to third-world countries than any other! That is by far, one of their top corporate mantras!

      Cons

      The continual acquisition of companies over the last 15 years has watered down the core Pfizer culture. The "If we can't beat them, we'll buy them" approach upsets the corporate culture each time there is an integration of upper-level, mid-management and field forces from other companies creates a mixed bag of parts. It takes awhile to get a sense of normalcy, then as soon as things calm down, Pfizer acquires another company! It can be quite disconcerting, but it is obviously necessary to keep the company profitable and the shareholders happy.
