      Pros

      Great benefits and vacation/holiday time.

      Cons

      Paralyzed with indecision. Then, when a decision is made, it makes things worse. Things have been spiraling out of control for years. Too many layers of middle management, who essentially do nothing. My boss's boss was famous for that. Working approx. 6 hours a day...or should I say present for 6 hours, but usually on personal phone calls or attempting to manage up to a better position. Even though a consulting firm recommended Pfizer NOT outsource our team, Pfizer in it's infinite wisdom decided to do just that, and this manager stood idly by...spending his days looking for a new position as the boat sank.

      If it continues this way, in less than a year each share will be worth a quarter

      Pros

      They give money regularly to the people who spend some time in between their walls, if you are from a "visible minority" there is a good chance that you will receive some promotion and get protected whatever you do. If you are a woman and get pregnant, then you can get truly great benefits. If you are fired then you will get a great redundancy package.

      Cons

      It is a heavily bureaucratic mammoth. There is no creativity since the management decided to fire the people with it. Therefore the only trend is idea stealing: other patents are studied hard to try to make something but with very little success. There are several malfunctions all around the place from the top management who requires its employees to communicate with them while you have to beg to get the information the other way around. Several important projects are only thought half way and result in great loss of money and time, the business rules applies only to those outside of the US while the US colleagues act like cowboys and are free to do whatever they want with no supervision. We are told to save money but everything is made to waste it !
