Great place for bullies

Pros

Nice benefits for colleagues, generous programs for all.

Cons

No such thing as servant leadership, hiring a lot of management who are bullies. Very difficult place to work, didn't use to be that way. Lots of turnover because of the horrible environment and lack of leadership. We are losing great talent because of the environment and lack of flexibility in work space that is touted as a benefit. Untruthful managers, just a really awful place to work now.

Pros

Good benefits, great people, great mission.

Cons

Company has made several bad decisions which are leading to mass layoffs. Communication has been chaotic, un informative, and demoralizing.

Pros

Flexible which is great for work/life balance. Pfizer Fridays run from the start of daylight savings to the end of it, so you only have a few months where you are working a full Friday. The Consumer division allows you to wear jeans daily if you choose to. Most people work from home on Fridays. Vacation starts at 15 days plus 2 personal days. Unlimited sick (not to be abused, but doesn't count against your vacation days). Decent maternity leave (6 weeks paid parental leave in addition to your disability time).

Cons

No growth opportunities or bonuses for non-exempts. Extremely poor annual increases.
