Pros

Benefits are good. Colleagues were the most dedicated, hardest working people I have ever met. Big companies are organized and systematic in implementing continuous improvements and Pfizer was no exception (albeit a bit behind technologically, compared with similar companies).

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance. Several people in Quality had legit nervous breakdowns and had to be out on leave. There were no boundaries between work and personal life. Colleagues called on holidays, weekends, etc. and though they are careful to never say it aloud, the culture there is very clear that you are expected to prioritize Pfizer above everything and everyone else in your life.

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.
