Pros

Pfizer was a great company to work for in the past, but difficult times have changed the environment. They had fairly good technical talent and funding to do some very interesting projects. The size of the company provided financial resources that weren't available in many other environments. Comp was also above average.

Cons

IT budgets were cut more than 33% in 2012. Layoffs are so abundant that it is extremely difficult to get anything done. Innovative work is extremely limited in these difficult times. Political postering and bad behavior have increased under the recent financial pressure.

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.
