Pros

The bar is pretty low. If you show up and don't rock the boat you can ride projects for a year or more. Rates are ok. If you can swing a direct PO you're set. Most of that has been done away with though.

Cons

Management is a complete failure. They're completely clueless as to what they're doing. Lots and lots of managers, directors, supervisors etc. No worker bees. All the work is done by contractors, and they rotate those out on a yearly basis. Lots and lots of fire-drills. Sometime it's just plain soul-crushing.

Pros

You are proud of being one of the most advanced and capaable organization to do almost every thing.

Cons

During the most recent 5 years, Pfizer has been experienced the pain for how to keep being the best instead of being the biggest. I dont' think it has figured out how to yet.
