Pros

Pfizer provides lot of resources for their scientists, and many opportunities to learn and grow. Management encourages formation of cross-functional teams, where people from different disciplines can discuss and learn from each other. Pfizer offers great benefits including a pension plan.

Cons

Being a team oriented organization it might take multiple meetings to come to decisions. A lot of time is being spent on project meetings, sub-team meetings, face to face meetings, department meetings, telecons ....

The other colleagues that you get to work with make your daily experience as pleasant as possible. You can truly make solid friendships working there.

No room for promotion and people pawn off your ideas only to be fired in the most brutal way latter.
