      Slow to React - Pfizer is a follower not a Leader. Business by Acquisition

      Pros

      Good People to work with

      Cons

      Work-Life balance is bad, especially after acquisitions or new leadership looking to make own mark on organization. Low mobility, bring in contractors to fill void. Bad at training, and talented people have careers temporarily stalled.

      Pros

      Pfizer has all the typical pros (and cons) of working at a large company. Since there is such a huge amount of institutional knowledge, Pfizer is a great place to start a career and learn the basics of your profession. Generally speaking the culture is laid back, although culture does vary between the various locations and internal organizations.

      Cons

      Working at such a large organization means that change occurs at a glacial pace. Low turnover (especially among senior colleagues) means advancement can be quite difficult. Poor track record for internal development of drugs leads Pfizer to under-fund certain R&D functions.
