Big name but disappointing management

Pros

The salary and benefits are great.

Cons

It appears to be very poorly run. I am very low on the totem pole so may not realize their skills, but from what I can tell it isn't what one would expect from the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. There are no opportunities for advancement and it is still very much a good ole boys company. They all take care of their buddies.

Pros

Pfizer, historically was a great company to work for. Excellent values, integrity, innovative and with a mission that helped to serve humanity. there are still lots of god people, but the pressures of the business have changed the culture for the worse.

Cons

While the company still has significant strength and financial resources. The lack of a coherent strategy and the relentless cost cutting and downsizing have created a very stressful culture. The mission has shifted from helping humanity and running a good business to "it's all about the money." Ian has a major mountain to climb. He is doing better than I thought he would - figures an "old time Pfizer" guy might make the right difference.

Pros

Company offers comepetitive salary & benefits. Overall you get great satisfaction of the work and great people around you to work with.

Cons

High turnaround of colleagues and the roles are short lived which makes it difficult to focus on long term solid strategy and everybody is focused on achieving short term results.
