Pros

Largest pharmaceutical in the world, salaries are competitive and company benefits are currently average for the industry.

Cons

If you are looking for growth and diversity in your career, look somewhere else. Once you are in a position, you will remain there and your chances for advancement are minimal. Because of the company's constant reorganizations, there is currently tremendous instability fostering an atmosphere of low morale. Consequently, focusing on the tasks at hand is rather difficult. In addition, there are managers assigned to to groups and have no experience in those areas which they are assigned to lead.Pfizer's benefits package used to be above average, unfortunately, due to the current economic climate, their pension and benefits package have changed for the worse.

Pros

The benefits and pay. At least they used to pay well before they went to all Jr. employees and offshored everything.

Cons

The company has become too large too fast. The CEO is not research-minded or knowledgeable about the business. He destroyed Boston Market, and will do the same to Pfizer. All of the Sr. staff is being sent out the door to cut costs, and much of the initial research industrywide is being done abroad and in the East - with many errors.
