Pros

Great working environment and nice people, great products.

Cons

Poor compensation/ incentive policies. The latest pfizer merge severance package was designed so poor that an employee who joined the company for one day will get the same package as another who have served the company for 8 years if they both make 100k . Another example is Long Term Incentive (LTI) Policy - clearly ill designed to let long-term employees disappointed and felt punished. The LTI which worthes tens of thousands of cash value was only awarded to employees who earn more than ~105k regardless the grade level and performance. Since employees stay in the company longer tend to have relative lower salary, and they are more likely to be victimized by this policy, and these employees who may be very vaulable (high ROI) will have no incentive to stay after merge closing. It is very unfortunate.

Pros

For the most part, people are respected and the work environment is good. People are generally happy -- the commercial group seems to have the greatest stresses and that trickles to areas that directly support the commercial group. There is a gym on site.

Cons

Executive management is often dictatorial and capricious. Strong systems aren't in place, as a result firedrills are a way of life here. Wyeth greater Philadelphia locations are a long commute from the city center.

Pros

better than average compensation with generally good colleagues. The organization attempts to change with annual feedback programs but continues to fall short of the mark. The loss of Protonix to generics has hurt the bottom line and efficiency measures are taking place which is leading to a more focused organization

Cons

poor product portfolio and very little diversity. A poor and ineffective HR group which allows for bad management behaviors to exist.
