Pros

The people are great, lots of young recent graduates, friendly atmosphere. Good food in the canteen, lots of cafes around the site.

Cons

Sandwich, Kent. You're in the middle of nowhere, literally can not walk to anything except other Pfizer buildings and fields. Canterbury is basically the only town in the area. The buildings are all those new 'high tech' complex type constructions, that have zero soul. Very high turnover of employees. I think many people were on ~2 year contracts.

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.
