Pros
I can’t think of anything. Perhaps good work life balance
Kontras
Not a happy organization to work. Most of the scientists are sad, unhappy and depressed. It’s the most political and divisive science organization that I’ve worked. Worse place for a PhD in organic/chemistry to work. The research is basic and project managers manipulate data and mislead their superiors. If you are looking for a medicinal chemistry position, don’t go to Pfizer. They have a design - synthesis split that affects performance, development and delivery. Pfizer’s straight talk slogan is deceitful. you will either be fired or laid off if you challenge or oppose management at any level. Not a diverse company. Ph.D scientists are being supervised by people with B.Sc and those that have no knowledge of fundamental or modern chemistry/science. Too many layers of management. unclear communication on performance and delivery. weak performance review procedures. incompetent lead managers. inconsistent company mission/vision. Regular and systematic layoffs for the past 3 years including over 400 in 2018 alone. No job security at Pfizer. Pfizer pays significant less compares to most big pharmaceutical companies Don’t go there!
