Cons

Pros
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.
Cons
The only cons I have is that the pay might sometimes be lower compared to different biotech/ pharma companies in the area.

Pros
There are so many great people who work very hard and support each other.
Cons
Constant/ongoing reduction of human resource and over reliance on substandard and poorly implemented systems. Focus is entirely Wall Street perception and little to no appreciation of the employees who create value.

Lack of Opportunity for Minorities
May 1, 2023 - Bioprocess TechnicianRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
401k, healthcare, PTO, caregiver days, overall the benefits package is competitive
Cons
Minorities are often overlooked for advancement opportunities, ousted out of training opportunities, and Pfizer's diversity and inclusion program is a joke. There is a VERY SPECIFIC demographic that they look for when promoting from within, experience and merit don't matter if you fit their criteria.
