Pfizer is a good company

Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

You are making products that help people live better lives. The company has good values and nice people working there. The pay and benefits are excellent. The company is also great about paying for continuing education training. Colleagues have plenty of activities and opportunities for work life balance.

Cons

They need to get more products to replace Lipitor when it goes off patent. There is still too much bureaucracy. Due to issues in the U.S., there have been a lot of job cuts.

Pfizer - no vision for the future - its just about cost cutting

Business Outlook

Pros

People recognize the name so it can help me get a job elsewhere. I enjoy the people and the location works for me because I want to live in NYC.

Cons

Bad time right now. No sense that they value their people, management seems to be making bad decisions. The worst is that there is no vision for the future, I have no idea where we are going but so far it doesn't seem like we are going anywhere positive just down, down, down.

half day fridays and free prescriptions are great perks. also maternity/paternity leave. and work/life balance is much better than most other places i've seen.

Cons

you spend every day waiting to be ATS'd. and hear from everyone how great the company used to be. is very depressing. plus, the sales reps are horrid spoiled little brats who complain about everything.
