Manager
Great people, was great place to work before current CEO/CFO
management & no growth. Very political.
Marketing
Food is good Location is good
Overtime work Parking problem if you not in the top position
Ehs specialist
The pay, benefits and the common area of the site is great. I think company overall is great. Maybe if you get a role in corporate in NYC, you would be good
My time has been awful. Massive instability with budget. I have already been there for a few months and have already seen 2 layoffs. Do not know why they are hiring or brining in interns and contractors while dozens are getting laid off.
Cybersecurity analyst
Learn a ton Great teammates and management Good workplace environment (on campus events, free snacks/coffee, open concept office space, friendly and knowledgeable coworkers) Respectful and technically knowledgeable managers Lots of career opportunities and heavy focus on training. Lots of vertical/diagonal career advancement opportunities for those who put in the effort. Emphasis on work/life balance and congratulating/recognizing folks for hard work and accomplishments
Some corporate bureaucracy (expected at basically any company this size) Increasing "ask" for people to return to office, even in jobs that work on regional/global teams where meetings are all online anyway (however still asking for a hybrid model, 2-3 days a week) Pay is on the lower side, for most jobs that aren't management roles they basically only hire fully entry level individuals
Process engineer
Challenging and many opportunities to learn. Safety focus
Takes too long to get things done
Third party quality assurance
Good work life balance. No micromanagement.

Sr lab tech
I was able to learn to research and explore many opportunities.
The last 5 years before retirement, there were two reorganizations.
Internship
Great work place dynamic, flexible working schedule for students living in the city and studying in the city. Housing stipend given to out of state and international students.
Counts as pre completion OPT for international students.
Hospitality analyst
One major pro of working at Pfizer is the flexibility they offer with a hybrid work environment, allowing employees to choose which days to go into the office. This flexibility can greatly improve work-life balance, reduce commuting stress, and allow for better time management. It also helps employees tailor their work schedules to fit personal needs while still maintaining productivity and collaboration when needed in the office.
Some cons of working at Pfizer, as you've described, include: A negative work environment, where colleagues frequently complain about the job and express regret for leaving their previous positions. Employees are expected to work extra hours without additional compensation. Despite the company's claim of promoting work-life balance, the reality doesn't align with this, making it challenging to maintain a healthy balance between personal and professional life. These factors can lead to low morale and increased dissatisfaction among employees.

Working at Pfizer I feel I'm involved in engaging in intellectually challenging and stimulating work. I have the opportunity to explore and solve complex problems, conduct research, and contribute to scientific advancements. Pfizer is a company that is constantly evolving, with new discoveries and technologies emerging regularly. In your current position, you have the opportunity to stay at the forefront of scientific knowledge, learn new techniques, and expand your expertise. This continuous learning can enhance your professional growth and keep you engaged in your work.
The only cons I have is that the pay might sometimes be lower compared to different biotech/ pharma companies in the area.

Great people, reasonable time off, good meeting
Expense account approval is terrible
Senior manager
Good benefits (Bonus, stocks, performance award)
Did not care for their employees and how hard they worked.
Operations professional
Pfizer is truly diverse and looks for the right people for the job not what a degree says you should be good at.
There are not many cons to name. One that I have been dealing with is even though I'm salary to be better about the work/home balance. Sometimes that's difficult to do.
