Pfizer Employee Reviews & Ratings

Contractors let go due to job cuts.

we do not have notifications about who will be in place, and who will be leaving at the time of layoff.

Work life balance, salary is not competitive, limited room for growth in some groups

poor paid for the amount of experience

Many overloaded with work, too many systems, too many stakeholders, making clinical trials execution even more complex and inefficient. Too many changes (new come before the recent ones have been established properly) and big rotation of staff in projects.

The positions are not examined equaly, you will see people as Managers with 2 years of experience and also with 15 years of experience and that means they both get the same salary. Promotions are hardly given and the salary increase is pretty low. A senior manager earns 5% more than a manager and so on. The most suitable option is to aquire the best contract at the beggining (highest position possible for you) because you are going to stay in that position for many years regardless your efforts. Almost zero utilization for most employees most of the day is spent just doing nothing instead of providing your skills to crucial operations of the organization. Compared to other companies the benefits are pretty low you get a car after becoming a Director (hardly ever) which in other brands you can get a car from a position of assistant manager. The salary is mediocre for high positions (Manager and above) and low for junior positions such as associate/sr.associate compared to other companies. The company in Greece is HR driven (greek HR) which means what ever your Manager decides for you (promotion,raise,relocation,benefits) has to be accepted from the HR first (hardly ever happens).

-Poor benefits when working overtime

More interested in profitability than developing science. Disproportionate amount of their innovation comes through M&A.

For mobile opportunities you have to spend lots of years

Overwhelming amount of testing and requirements

Nothing much, except clean room cleanings.

Big company that can be hard to navigate

Limited career growth opportunities, work is generally dull

Critically focus attendees of the CMEs

Low pay in comparison to industry, tight timelines, non-flexible schedules, micromanaging, IMEX, toxic culture

Lower salary than competition companies

Average nature, lack of opportunity

The work schedule is not that great.

Projects sometimes have short deadlines with not enough knowledgeable help. Takes too long to backfill positions.

There have been no cons.

No cons to share at this time

Lots of stress and pressure but that is normal

people at pfizer are rude

Doesn't negotiate pay, pays low

very few with pay medical leaves.

The location of the company

Cash management is futile as NY

Everyone that has anything to do with management

Hard to get promoted in place, most had to move around to move up.

Long term incentives vesting are complicated

Worst career path ever , worst learning ans development ever bad people

Changing priorities has made support functions less stable and more likely to be eliminated. This is forcing fewer people to have to get more done.

Poor salary package, short changes employees

Growth opportunities and promotions are completely dependent on your group and boss, which can be good or bad for you. It was bad for me. I watched other colleagues that possessed similar skills/experience/capabilities as myself get promoted, and in some cases, get promoted more than once, before I received a single promotion. I intend to leave the company soon to find my next step since Pfizer continues to move the target for what is needed to promote me. I've been on the promotion list for ~1.5 years now and have no indication that I will be promoted anytime soon.

No cons to be found here

not sure can only speak of shift

None. Everything was excellent. Only worry was always job stability with the markets.

Change and restructuring are expected to happen more frequently.

Poor management, no room for advancement, underpaid

Salary can be the worse of the market. For a company that is doing so great in recent years is appalling what the offer. They need to stop thinking that pride to work there in enough.

Work pretty repetitive, but not a big problem.

None that I can think of

Poor management, poor development oppurtunities, nepotism

Some of the equipment was old.

No major cons at this point

Lack of leadership from middle management Overloaded and trying to do too much without focus

Connect is more of a call center and not pharmaceutical sales. I was excited to work for a prestige companies such as Pfizer but the Connect leadership only cares about quantity not quality. Every few months our expectations for our calls, virtual interactions and sales are raised and at this point they are pretty much unachievable.

Cog in a machine and sometimes felt lost in such a big compay

Salaries compared to same roles in other pharma are on the lower end of the scale

The amenities are not great and you can get laid off anytime
