Pros

Work/life balance (half day Fridays, working from home, vacation time), smart and talented people, opportunity to travel, opportunity to learn about different parts of the business.

Cons

Organization too large and it is impossible to know everyone in your own department, politics, strict adherence to the corporate heirarchy, not much visibility of the leadership teams, major decisions made at the top that are not thought through that colleagues are accountable for, every project is complex due to the complexity of the organization, rolling layoffs.

Pros

The people are great, lots of young recent graduates, friendly atmosphere. Good food in the canteen, lots of cafes around the site.

Cons

Sandwich, Kent. You're in the middle of nowhere, literally can not walk to anything except other Pfizer buildings and fields. Canterbury is basically the only town in the area. The buildings are all those new 'high tech' complex type constructions, that have zero soul. Very high turnover of employees. I think many people were on ~2 year contracts.
