Pros

Way too few to mention

Cons

Too many to list: Cronyism. Lay offs occur every two weeks like clockwork. It's the only thing that HR does efficiently. This is not a research based pharmaceutical company... Pfizer is a Merger and Acquisition machine that has zero heart Think "The Borg" and "Assimilation" and you have a good idea of a 'nice' day at Pfizer

Pros

Great benefits: more vacation time than most companies offer. Higher salary than other companies Interesting work If you can prove your worth, easy to move up in the company

Cons

Best to negotiate the highest salary before being hired. Otherwise, you'll always be at the low end of the pay scale for the position.

Pros

Good money even for entry level techs. Three weeks vacation right out of the gate. Great prescription plan.

Cons

Different messages sent throughout the managment levels. Unfavorable works schedules. Lacks a sense of pride and unity. Very much an "us" vs "them" environment between management and workers.
