Pros

Get to work and collaborate with very bright and talented scientists. Generally, most of the scientists in the lab are good people and easy to talk to.

Cons

Every 18 months (for the last 7-8 years) a new R&D reshuffling has taken place (accompanied by layoffs) and causes major disruptions to productivity. Pfizer definitely has the buddy system, so if you're not associated with the right people, then you'll probably be on the list of people that will be let go in the next round.
