Pros

Great benefits package. Flexible work.

Cons

Senior management are terrible. No sense of direction. Committed to maintaining the big white elephant (Groton) intact.

Pros

The company still holds tremendous resources that it can apply -- if it can finally commit to a single vision for the future. The stock price is flat and has been that way despite products being launched and others recalled -- in this economy a flat stock price is pretty good. People like to knock Kindler (CEO) -- apparently there are thousands that believe they can do a better job -- but I think he has his hands tied by an underachieving board (and that's what needs change).

Cons

Change...change...change. The ink has not dried on one reorganization when another is already announced. The board is not laying out a consistent vision for the future of the company and enabling senior leaders to execute. It gets tiring listening to "old timers" complain about how the old Pfizer used to be so much better.

Pros

This seems to go against the grain here, but I see it as a great place to work. Smart, talented and ambitious people find opportunity. I see a lot of people with no desire to broaden their skills who complain and worry about unfairness and layoffs. It's very true that I may get the ax one day, but in the meantime I focus on doing the best I can do, making meaningful connections and broadening my industry knowledge. The pay and benefits are fantastic, and there is enough going on to keep anyone engaged. Overall- if you can get you foot in the door- it's a great place to work.

Cons

Unmotivated, negative, and grandfathered-in coworkers who waste their days paranoid and complaining.
