Pros

At La Jolla site there is diversity, very smart co-workers, interesting research and development opportunities, an on-site gym and walking trail, and great San Diego views.

Cons

Work-life balance can often be out of whack, teleconferences often occur at wacky hours since the La Jolla site is at the end of the time-zone chain.

Pros

No expectations since the majority are totally inept. The hours kept are minimal and the hours there are not required to be productive. The benefits package is very good and you can't beat the location - right near Grand Central. A typical day for any employee consists of back to back meetings so no work is actually ever really required of anyone. It's common to see people coming in around 10-11 am and leaving around 4 pm. Unfortunately, the co did away with half day Fridays and the company store. If you want a career where you can get paid for chair warming, PFE is the place for you.

Cons

Those same inept people eventually get promotions despite reporting fictitiously earned degrees from made up schools (Amerigus U doesn't exist!). Eventually it has a tremendous negative impact on the firm. It also disincentivizes the few valuable employees who are actually doing the work. PFE could fire half the staff and see no change in operations other than increased efficiency.
