        I have been working at Pfizer full-time

        Pros

        Honestly the people and management are good and fantastic. There is no 'corp bs' you can truly be yourself and the environment is warm and welcoming. Very flexible with working times and you can achieve a work life balance (bit harder the higher you go however, they are advocates for Work-Life Balance) People actually care about you and their brand

        Cons

        Too many unnecessary processes that could be fixed Lack of growth - their turnover rate is very low and you are competing with people who have a number of years of experience so it is hard to become promoted

        Advice to Management

        Remove the complex processes and promote your staff or you will lose talent

            I worked at Pfizer full-time (Less than a year)

            Pros

            Have recently allowed employees to work from home every so often.. Introduced Summer hours where you can leave at 3.00 pm on Fridays. Great collaboration within the team to get the work done.

            Cons

            Managers don't really manage. No real opportunities for further advancement.

            Advice to Management

            Be more inclusive with the team - don't isolate them.

            Great place to work. Professional Facility. Great Incentives.

            Cons

            Great divide between shop floor and science professionals.

            Advice to Management

            Exercise equality towards shop floor workers.

            I have been working at Pfizer full-time for more than 5 years

            Pros

            Stable work environment

            Cons

            Kept networking more important than the work it self . but I guess same with other companies ?

            Advice to Management

            keep it up
