    Business Outlook

    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.

    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 Technician 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    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.

    Pros

    Pay and vacation time are great

    Upper management does not care one bit about their employees. Only thing that matters to them is their spreadsheets. Things are constantly changing and never for the better.
