Pros

Pfizer has very good benefits and salary package with annual reviews and salary raises. The 401k matches and pension programs are very good as well.

Cons

Because of the business climate in the pharmaceutical industry there always seems to be a need to buy companies, consolidate and downsize meaning cutting people and places.

Pros

Challenging environment. Opportunities for advancement seem more readily attainable than my previous employer (UPS). Hiring process is very stringent - less competition when it comes to climbing up the corporate ladder

Cons

-Too many things to juggle (projects/assignments/ad hoc requests), it's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed. - Under-staffed!

Pros

Powerful company -- intellectually, financially, and in what it can do for society. Very good benefits. Very influential. Has the potential to really make a difference for people around the world.

Cons

Hierarchical (though it's trying to change). Conservative and stodgy. Uber-political to the detriment of its employees and its external reputation. Too decentralized and not willing to make bold moves.
