Business Outlook

Pros

Based on the large company size, Pfizer can offer higher salaries for similar science work. The company is also fairly flexible with time off and has good benefits for people interested in settling down in an area. There are out of work teams and sporting leagues, as Pfizer tries to emlpoyee a "healthy" philosophy. Funding recently has been cut for some activities.

Cons

Location: Eastern connecticut is pretty lousy as a place to live as a young employee. Not enough goes on and social interaction takes extra effort being so far from a city. Taxes in connecticut are steep and ridiculous. No beer after 9 or sundays. I wouldt not pick to live here again. Management/Structure: Most reviews and the whole review process does not reward those that really deserve it, and the rate of advancement is very poor for a non-PhD employee. Most managers routinely talk about places to go in ones career, and do very little to follow that up.
