Pros

Overall, I had a great post-doc experience at Pfizer. I learned a lot and was treated as a member of the team. Compensation and benefits were also terrific. I was able to attend both internal and external conferences, publish, collaborate, and gain valuable industry experience.

Cons

Like any large global corporation, Pfizer can be confusing to navigate, maybe more so for post-docs since it's a small program. Things can seem chaotic at times, and there were lay-offs during my time there. But that's part of pharma, and it's good to find out sooner than later if it's a good fit for you.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
