Pros

The ability to work from home as a perm employee is a plus, at least 2 days a week. Summer/Pfizer fridays start and end with daylight savings time (Mar-Nov), work about an extra 45 a day and leave at 1p on friday. Big company with decent benefits, very flexible work arrangements.

Cons

Impersonal, depending on what site you work in and the dept, difficult to interact with people from other depts. Few private workspaces in some sites. Raises are not great, no bonus at some levels, unlike at other companies where nearly everyone gets some kind of bonus or incentive Own it culture doesn't work as there is no real incentive o work any harder than you have to as there is nothing to work towards as promotions seem few and far between.

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.
