Pfizer Employee Reviews & Ratings

The job duties added on are never ending. To many hats to wear but the pay doesn't reflect it.

After training lack of responsibility

It's more of a one-man show. Follow the golden rule of ' Boss is always right' to succeed.

Not too much challenge, the location was not quite convenient

Some groups perform very repetitive tasks

Mandatory vaccine and lots of paperwork

Advancement is slow within the company.

Hard to learn how the company works

Nothing to share here, n/a

High tolerance to some employees who get away from doing nothing.

Initial pay isn't the best.

- - - - -

Work-life balance isn’t great; teams are overworked; many re-orgs led to headcount reductions over the past few years resulting in the loss of a lot of good people

Bad- work- life balance, pressure

Human Resources could be better with communication but all in all it’s great!

Difficult to get a promotion

Everyone stepped up during the pandemic. We needed to, we wanted to. Lives were at stake. We did it because we cared. It was personal. Near the end of the pandemic/post pandemic the company said we know that we can get products to market more quickly now and we are going to capitalize on that. We may have chosen to step up during the pandemic, but it is not sustainable.

IT is crushed right now with work. Way overloaded. Really peaked during pandemic but has gotten worse with IT restructuring / lay offs. It will be interesting to see what it looks like in 5 years.

don't allow yourself to be overlooked. be active.

Growth limited and regional culture mindset

Layoffs almost every year which shuffle everything

Microagressions. No annual pay raises to combat inflation. Metrics constantly change and it’s giving me whiplash. You will have to move to a different city or state for an opportunity. Leadership does what they want although they send surveys and ask for feedback. If feedback is not line with their expectations, it will not be accounted or put into action.

No.., nothing as a cons

I have no Cons regarding Pfizer.

At times Work load is a bit alot

The learning curve for a position in Quality is 3months to 1 year before you are able to perform the job. In that time just about everyone you started with has moved on to another career or position. The hiring process takes 3-6 months. They are not family friendly and you will be punished for using paternity leave and caregiver days.

Unfortunate if they transition out of area you work in

Enjoy full overtime, was paid, expected client demands

Continuous change of strategy, leadership does not connect well with employees

Nothing much to say here

Pay can be average/below average

Too much pression, no accountability

Not fully flexible in all departments

Low base pay for market value Frequent re-org affects culture Mandated on site presence

Occasionally you may have to work more than your shift.

Some of the managers are bad at their job, wish I got paid more

Senior management not equipped to train new commers, multiple changes every 3 month.

Completely anonymous. No teamwork or atmosphere. Too many people and it's just a big horrible conveyor belt

I can’t think of any.

no cons . best place to develop

High pressure environment in all

Very low salaries Almost no career opportunities as the promotions are very slow.

I encountered very few such cases.

Absolutely terrible role that they market as inside sales but it is truly a call center. Management is horrendous. Employees are treated like school aged children. Told where to sit, must sit in seat until exactly time to leave (as salaried employees), forced to write metrics on a white board, questions are never answered, managers do not know how to do their job and just refer all questions to other people on the team. They hire OVERQUALIFIED people to do a call center job that most companies outsource to 3rd world countries. It is a trap and extremely hard to move even internally because they try to retain everyone in this call center box. If you apply for a job at Pfizer, ensure that is NOT involved with Pfizer CONNECT.

Career options and growth is limited. Uneven compensation that mostly depends on your department.

Poor morale Told our employment was impacted in January yet didn't receive further news until October Expected to deliver quality work while receiving no updates on your future at the company Layoffs occurring right before the holidays with no date provided Separation plan reduced before layoffs Tracking badge access as part of new strict hybrid policy

Pfizer made 500 people redundant after pulling out of the UK.

Shared responsibilites due to matrix organization.

For an internship i didn't learn much

Canadian head office is in Kirkland, QC Remote employees can often feel excluded due to this Despite attempts to cut the red tape a lot bureaucracy exists, although I believe this to be true of any large pharma company
