Pfizer Inc. Employer Reviews

It became a flooded market of drug reps from all the different companies.

good people, I learned the manufacturing process and with that knowledge i complete the part needed to know the complete process of manufacture from the beggining (raw materials) to the end bulk product,

The daily routine varied based on studies that were either being started or were ending. I especially enjoyed processing documentation and gathering supplies and sending them to study sites. It was an interesting experience to learn about the various safety and efficacy studies that are conducted on current over-the-counter medicines. The most difficult – more... part of the job was working with some previously created documents that didn't always interface with updated computer applications. – less

Being well structured company, it's so pleasant to work there

Productive and fun a gym you can work out after work or before work.management is very respectful understanding.The hardest part is going home cause there so much to learn about the company that you don,t want to leave. Co-workers are nice,but the most enjoyable part is the joy I feel when I leave cause I learned a lot to better myself.I learn how to – more... operate machinery,set up a line,manage people. – less

It was a perfect beginning love to work there great people.Great managers and coworkers

A really nice environment to work, it was a excelent school for me.
I learned a lots working at Pfizer.

Led team of Headquarters-based researchers and scientists in developing strategies to secure optimal product reimbursement and pricing in global markets in product categories including cardiometabolic, neuroscience, infectious and respiratory disease, inflammation and pain, genitourinary, and ophthalmology.

Despite heavy regulations and changing economic conditions, there is still a strong sense of purpose and a commitment to the highest quality standards.
Management has always been open to new ideas and is willing to commit resourses to ensure that they are the right ideas. Change is very methodical and thorough (and should be!).
The most enjoyable part – more... was being part of it all. – less

Great to learn about the pharmaceutical industry but the environment wasn't what I had hoped for.

The responsibilities keep piling up at the same low pay. Pay raise and bonus was abysmal. Very high turnover and apathy amongst employees. No proven leadership. Stressful work environment. Good benefits package and 401K match up to 5%.

I have learnt a lot about the work culture.
Support from my managers and colleagues.

Not a terrible company to work for. I learned a lot and gained experience.

My 9 1/2 years at Pfizer were the best in my entire work career. If corporate did not have a corporate initiative to downsize both field and inside sales support by 20% to minimize the impact of patent expirations on sales, I would probably still be working there. It was a pleasure working there and I didn't mind the long hours because it was acknowledged – more... and appreciated unlike other companies I have worked at. – less

Excellent compensation and benefits. The people are fantastic: smart, personable, driven. The biggest challenges are: a highly regulated marketplace that limits sales creativity and entrepreneurship; a powerful insurance industry that is focused on short term results and therefore limits access to new products; and massive government reform that is – more... limiting how much revenue the industry can generate. Because pharmaceutical development is a high risk venture, most companies are going into specialty markets and beginning to focus their marketing efforts in developing countries where it is easier to recoup investment. Therefore the number of pharmaceutical sales jobs in the US has decreased significantly and is likely to continue a downward trend. The best opportunities in this sector for non healthcare providers exists in consultative sales to integrated healthcare delivery systems. Unfortunately, this sales model is still being developed and will take a while to truly mature. If you are thinking of going into this industry to sell, your job security will always be highly unpredictable and as long as you're okay with that - it will still be a great job. – less

Typical day at work entails making a liquid injectable. I learned how to make a lot of different products and work with different instruments. I did not like the management. co-workers were awesome, easy going people. The hardest part of the job was the start of the day, setting up to make the actual products. The most enjoyable part of the day was – more... filtering of the products, you were able to sit down. – less
