Pros

Large MW department with many experienced writers and training opportunities.

Cons

Pfizer obviously is a huge organization and it’s complex and difficult to navigate. Often when I was assigned a mentor to help navigate working with a new team or on a new document, that writer was not helpful. The demands and workloads constantly increased. Pfizer seems to have it down to a science how to extract the most labor out of employees while giving the least possible back. They coerced all employees to be covid vaccinated at the threat of termination, even those who worked fully remotely. Also when I left my health insurance coverage ended on the day my employment ended even though they had deducted the premium for the whole month according to my paystub. This was not returned to me.

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.
