Pros

I love being a part of Pfizer and I think they may have finally gotten the picture. They must develop, listen, innovate and change to stay alive and win popular love and trust. They are finally doing that! Great Healthcare, perks, etc. Free prescriptions medications included in your insurance to ALL drugs, EVERYWHERE.

Cons

Occassionally get stuck under the Human Resource blanket by politics, etc. They realize little about the actual job, etc.

Business Outlook

Pros

Industry leader and advanced understanding of eCTD submission standards and processes. Leadership is supportive of growth and development. Peers are some of the best in the industry

Cons

As of late communication from upper management has been lacking. Somewhat understandable given the recent merger, but they could coordinate communication efforts better to maintain better moral
