Pros

Pros of Pfizer are most likely pros of any big company - great benefits at a great price, competitive salary and opportunity to move around due to the size of the company and constant open positions.

Cons

There are not many nice people who work at Pfizer. In fact, there are so many mean people that in recent years, they had to roll out and HR campaign called "No Jerks". They have an official "No Jerks" policy, which has not worked well. My first impression, on my first day at Pfizer was, "Every single one of these people would dig my eye out with a spoon if it meant taking one small step ahead". After years at Pfizer, that perception did not change.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
