Pros

While working as a contractor at Pfizer, I have had the opportunity to get involved in many aspects of the projects I have been involved. I have had the opportunity to be a team player where my input was saught at the tactical and strategic level. The teams I worked with both Pfizer and other contractors were easy to work with and allowed me the freedom to my job without interference.

Cons

Probably the biggest con is the fact that Pfizer has a policy where contractors have to roll off the books after a year. Although tools such as requirements management were lacking, I was afforded the opportunity to develop a tool to support the requirements efforts.

Pros

Passionate to be a part of an organization that is making a major difference in providing drugs that help with patient's lives, health and well-being around the world.

Cons

The organization is too large and is finding a hard time with finding blockbuster drugs to compensate for the patent loses that have impacted the company's sales and led to initiatives that downsize, right-size, and/or outsource groups/functions to reduce costs globally. Unstable environment to work in with all of the mergers and consolidation.
