Pros

Pfizer is full of talent and capability. People who work their are truly passionate about the pharma/healthcare industry and the good that it does. The company is very Wall Street-savvy and manages to please investors, which is not a bad thing. If you are smart and network with the right decision-makers, you can write your own ticket to a robust career. Pfizer donates to so many good causes and sends its talented personnel all over the world to work pro-bono on establishing health care infrastructure in countries where little infrastructure exists.

Cons

The company can be cheap to a default. Asking employees to fund their own relocation and international assignments is not a market-competitive practice. The New York HQ office environment can be so political that the buzz distracts employees from doing their work. There is founded and constant worry about layoffs, which happens each year at least in the hundreds.

Pros

Life-Work balance Very Good Salary Many opportunities to develop a careers BUT ONLY if you are part of the main business.

Cons

In small countries or region you can be in the same positions for years and years... If you are friend of the Hiring Manager then exists a strong opportunity to grow up, but not necesarily because your work is good. Most of the People in HR is not good at all. HR prefers a lot female than males.
