Pfizer is still on the decline (but the stock is a good buy!)

Director

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, Physical Work Environment, scattered talent

Cons

Chronic short term thinking on the part of management, attempts to be truly innovative fail, lack of trust in management, too many "hold-outs" at Pfizer that simply want to stay for fear they will find nothing else - brings out a culture of "yes" people afraid to rock the boat

Pfizer pay is commensurate with misery of working there

It manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is great. Benefits are great.

Cons

Employee morale is in the toilet. Management does not care about people below them -- they only care about people above them. There is no fairness nor respect for people which is made worse somewhat by upper management pretending that they care.

Pfizer: Not A Great Place to Work

human resources director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pfizer has a great benefits program with excellent coverage for all drugs and almost every health issue under the sun. Good internal relocation package, as well.

Cons

Pfizer is a combination of three cultures, all dysfunctional. Also, there is a sense of $$ entitlement among senior management. If you're in NYC, the benefits are plush (car service, helicopters, nights at hotels) but the rest of the company is meant to scrape by and endure layoffs. Seems unfair.
