Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, and great work/life balance. Its a great place to hide if you don't like to work, want to be overpaid, or want to retire early while still receiving a paycheck. Basically like having a government job except the pay is better.

Cons

Bureaucratic, culture of inaction, incompetent leadership. The biggest downside is you have to pretend you are busy, which gets tiring after awhile.

Pros

There are plenty of resources available because of the sheer size of Pfizer. The pay and benefits are exceedingly good. Training at Pfizer is good and it enables the job to be done easily. There is not a lot of travel at Pfizer.

Cons

Pfizer is on the downslope of its glory years. Most of its drugs are either just off patent protection or are to go off patent protection within the next few years. management is more focused on meeting quarterly goals than they are in creating a dynamic and inclusive work environment. I would recommend waiting until 2012 to pursue a job at Pfizer.
