Pros

Pfizer, historically was a great company to work for. Excellent values, integrity, innovative and with a mission that helped to serve humanity. there are still lots of god people, but the pressures of the business have changed the culture for the worse.

Cons

While the company still has significant strength and financial resources. The lack of a coherent strategy and the relentless cost cutting and downsizing have created a very stressful culture. The mission has shifted from helping humanity and running a good business to "it's all about the money." Ian has a major mountain to climb. He is doing better than I thought he would - figures an "old time Pfizer" guy might make the right difference.

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.
