Pros

Pfizer provides a great compensation and incentives package...I worked in IT - the core business strategies were definitely known.

Cons

A LOT of outsourcing...teams are no longer co-located - making much of the collaboration done in a virtual format..barely any budget allotted for IT...the company pipeline is not looking good...R&D was cut..
