      The CEO allowed something terrible to happen and didn't resign

      Pros

      Unlimited sick days, good PTO, 10 caretaker days

      Cons

      Everyone knows we laid off 40% of our staff. This was because of a gross overestimate and miscaculation of incoming revenue from Paxalovid. What they told us was the work you did in 2023 was unpresidented and amazing, but now we have to lay you off. Management is a joke, everyone is a suck-up, Ph.D's are valued over experience. Salary is below industry standard. STAY AWAY.

      Pros

      Great work life balance, outstanding local managers, talented co-workers at the small site i worked (~80 people)

      Cons

      Horrible financial planning and forecasting at the top that led to worldwide layoffs and $3.5b cost cutting of the company.

      Pros

      None anymore. I liked my team, but colleague moral is low now.

      Cons

      My review would have been much different had I posted this two months ago. I was hired remotely, but Pfizer has decided to force everyone back into offices and if you don't live <50 miles from a site you will likely be laid off. They are also doing mass layoffs and promised to "be transparent" and "not let the news hang over us", but it has been three weeks and we still don't know if we will have a job soon and likely will not find out for another month. They also are giving less severance than they did in previous layoffs. I would say there are little career opportunities there since they do restructuring and layoffs every two years or so. Compensation is less than other companies.
