Pros

Pfizer pays well and has a really good benefits package. Each year it does seem that the benefits are rolled back a bit though. Since the company is so large, you have access to some great tools to do your job, and a big global network of committed individuals with whom you can work. If you have a co-operative manager, you can have quite a bit of flexibility in how you get your job done, provided you show results.

Cons

Oh, the reorgs.... You have to have pretty thick skin to try and ignore the rumors that start flying every year or so. It is painful, disheartening and unmotivating. You really can't become emotionally attached to your job, but perhaps that is just the way all businesses are these days.

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.
