Pros

People and pay are top in industry.

Cons

Losing patents and good people - constant downsizing is demoralizing talented workforce. Long history of doing right by employees has not been the case in last 5 years or so. The R&D is not that productive and the legal pitfalls have become numerous. A great place to pick up selling skills as well as management and leadership opportunities. Many Pfizer people in smaller companies are prospering from their experiences there.

Pros

Pfizer has a great pipeline of Quality medications and the base pay for field personnel is fair.

Cons

Pfizer is so large that it is difficult to find the person with answers to questions and find solutions to problems. Pfizer is under the impression that since they are the largest that they are the best. There are a lot of small to mid-sized companies with very skilled employees whom are at least as competent as Pfizer employees.
