Pros

People experience attempts to balance culture and personal development opportunities across the organization. Reasonable equity and inclusion initiatives.

Cons

Compensation is lower than peers, LT and senior executives are severely out of touch with R&D and how to invest money/expertise into strategy, silo culture with internal competition, colleagues steal credit for each other's work to stay relevant, LT changes pipeline focus too quickly to benefit from R&D investments, and people experience/HR cultural programs are in opposition to the "science will win" and me, me, me culture of the senior leaders.

Miserable place to work

Pros

Not many positives to mention about working at Pfizer aside from the colleagues I worked closely with in my group.

Cons

Where to start... Pay is not competitive with the industry and benefits are only marginally okay. No bonus and cost of living increases are terrible when compared to other companies, both large pharma and biotechs. Executive are overcompensated and work life balance does not exist for the worker in the trenches. Pipeline is weak requiring the company to buy other assets to shore up the pipeline and investment in internal R&D is poor. Benefits used to be pretty good, but the company has taken away so much from the employees, it is not terrible. Overall vibe at the R&D level is misery.
