Terrible leadership

Pros

Can purchase extra vacation days

Cons

Basically everything else. Leadership is terrible, they monitor your badges to ensure you are on site the required # of days, was promised that everyone gets to go to at least one professional development/conference a year and in 5 years I haven’t been to 1 (yes a few years were covid, but…), promotions are hard to come by, lots of politics, I could go on and on but won’t waste either of our time.

Chaotic and self-defeating

Pros

-People: great talent, care about the cause -Benefits: hybrid work, generous packages, even retirement -Opportunities to change careers using internal job market -Global and diverse workforce

Cons

-Chaotic and reliant on reorg after reorg. At this point, reorgs come months, not years apart. -Fabulously bad at org design: creating duplicative and triplicative scope at the same time as gaping holes in coverage; -People spend more time defining and negotiating their scope of work than doing the work. By the time they clear the path, a reorg upends all of that and they have to start from scratch.

Pros

Pfizer is a great company full of talent. You will always be surrounded by the best of the best and there are a million ways to learn and grow.

Cons

Morale has never been lower. Our CEO started out doing well and helped steer us through Covid, but has gotten insanely greedy and squandered all the profits in less than two years on a series of terrible business decisions. He ignores advice and steam roles everyone around him. Things will get better if he is ousted.
