Pfizer – “Review of Pfizer, La Jolla after 2 years”
Pros
Alot of resources and money, and mature people. Potential for growth is there. I recently just got to go to France for a conference. That was great.
Cons
Too much hierarchy and bureaucracy. Too many layoffs after working there for 2 years. Short-term employment is good but you can never count on long-term employment. The senior leadership needs to go because they are pretty stupid people. Stupid leaders result in hiring unproductive people.
I can't believe that target discovery just got implemented in 2009 when every company has already for years. We barely are looking into genetically engineered mouse models when it has been used everywhere else for years. Pfizer is behind in technology.
Advice to Senior Management
They need to go.
