Pros

There can be good opportunities at Pfizer if you work in the right areas. A lot of good people work at Pfizer. The company is flexible and allows some work from home, which helps in the quest for work-life balance.

Cons

The flip side to the work-life flexibility is the "blackberry culture" in which many workers are never really off. Communications across departments and business units are not strong. It can sometimes be challenging to get basic information. There seems to be a preference for speed over efficiency.

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.
