Business Outlook

Pros

It has strong training programs, competitive compensation packages and excellent benefits. Pfizer is in a transformation phase what creates several opportunities for career growth.

Cons

Downsides are job instability and delay by senior management in announcing decisions about the organizational structure moving forward. The work environment continues to be stressful and there is an overlap between legacy-Wyeth and legacy-Pfizer operational procedures, what makes daily work activities difficult. Legacy-Pfizer benefits are still not fully available to legacy-Wyeth employees.
