      Best job that I have ever had.

      Senior corporate counsel
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive salary and good benefits. Because the corporation is a matrix organization, there are many opportunities to work in different departments. Advancement seems to be fair. Flexible hours are also a benefit. Resources are never an issue, although budget is becoming more of a managed affair. Educational assistance plan is very generous. Directors also are provided a vehice and gas card.

      Cons

      Large organization that tends to switch strategies every 1.5 years. The reporting chain is somewhat artifcial due to its regional groupings. The sales force is somewhat cavalier. HR is very large, but offers little personal service. Corporate messaging sometimes lack sincerity.

      Not efficient internship experience

      Production intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It`s one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.It has a big reputation.Since they act selectively while choosing employees you do have sort of prestige.Great benefits for employees and a good salary.They provided breakfast lunch and twice tea time during a day.Wokring hours are short compared to other industries.

      Cons

      Too bureocratical.Changing an inefficient process is almost impossible.The factory is a bit old, needs some restoration.They don`t care much about the interns.Interns arent allowed to take and responsibility, therefore they dont let you to try and explore much.

      Thinking about a position with Pfizer, you'd be better off going somewhere else!

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pfizer offers great benefits and higher salaries then you'll find working anywhere. Alot of emphasis is placed on colleague development and training, with plenty of opportunities to excel at your job. However, even if you are an excellent performer, with great GPM ratings and performance awards - you can't count on ANY job security - you can be severed at any time without any warning.

      Cons

      Pfizer used to be a great place to work, but for the last couple of years the axe is always swinging over your head. Will your site close, will current therapeutic areas exit your site, will your department have significant layoffs? And it just keeps getting worse. There is absolutely no job security and colleagues perform their jobs with a sense of fear that they will be next.
