Pros

During my time here I have met some of the most incredible researchers who truly care about patient lives. Knowledgeable, humble, amazing people to work with.

Cons

Whether or not you are going to have a good experience with a supportive group will depend on management and there are some stinkers that make life miserable for everyone around them. Pfizer really doesn't have a way of reporting or helping or getting rid of them in order to mitigate damage to the team and stakeholders. I can count the number of weekends I've had off since I started working here on one hand. Emails sent at 5 pm on Friday for critical work. No support.

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.
