      Multinational environment, open for career moves but there are differences in countries in terms of work environments.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Multinational, lots of job opportunities, and well paid with respect to other industries. Furthermore, the strong history of the company gives you the confidence, and prestige.

      Cons

      Pfizer is a hierarchical organization and sometimes it takes too long to get things done rapidly and effectively. In addition to that, there is an increasing cost saving operations in the company which puts more work on every employee.

      A decade of constant turmoil and strife

      Senior principal scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generous compensation and benefits, at least as of now (although benefits and compensation are being curtailed). Some talented co-workers and top notch scientists but most of the top talent is leaving because of recent changes.

      Cons

      No clear direction from Sr. Management. A chaotic environment where urgent projects are cancelled without notice, sites are closed and colleagues relocated yearly, years of work are discarded and each wave of re-organization lowers morale further. Positions are often created, filled and then eliminated within a 6-10 month time frame. Pfizer has a long history of hiring people into sites that close within a week of their start date. The leadership has proven time and again to be completely untrustworthy. Whatever they say, believe the opposite. Beware working for this company.

      Very low morale at entire site

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many opportunities to learn various tasks.

      Cons

      Extreme pressure to meet very aggressive timelines. Many coworkers ("colleagues") work regularly late into the night and weekends due to workload. We are told to "do more with less" and be "comfortably over-committed". Very low morale at entire site. Many have no pride in the company name.
