Pros

Good benefits and good pay. Decent time off. Nice work environment and amenities. Prestigious company name built on past glory.

Cons

Top-down communication to employees is rote, smoke & mirrors -- and maddeningly disconnected from reality. Priorities skewed, science neglected, quality and compliance compromised.

Pros

Very collaborative environment and open communication Sr. Management is being visionary and understands the changing environment in the industry. Uses the power of being the #1 pharmaceutical company as a change agent in the external environment

Cons

Pfizer is still living in the days of having tremendous revenues, therefore there are too many people without clear responsibilities. This will need to change as major drugs go off patent. They love to hire consultants, despite having talented people who can do the same work.

Pros

At La Jolla site there is diversity, very smart co-workers, interesting research and development opportunities, an on-site gym and walking trail, and great San Diego views.

Cons

Work-life balance can often be out of whack, teleconferences often occur at wacky hours since the La Jolla site is at the end of the time-zone chain.
