Pros

People and pay are top in industry.

Cons

Losing patents and good people - constant downsizing is demoralizing talented workforce. Long history of doing right by employees has not been the case in last 5 years or so. The R&D is not that productive and the legal pitfalls have become numerous. A great place to pick up selling skills as well as management and leadership opportunities. Many Pfizer people in smaller companies are prospering from their experiences there.

Pros

Benefits, child care center and work life balance are good. Colleagues keep one another spirits going to make it through the day.

Cons

Always waiting to be told that your position has been eliminated. Positions are eliminated also due to manager's dislike of a particular colleague. Atmosphere is like a dead zone. Colleagues are overworked due to the large amount of layoffs.
