My time at Pfizer was great. I enjoyed working with the farmers. Sadly the merger with SB influenced my job and I was retrenched. I do still think that the company is great.

Great place to work and learn
The types of medical affairs activities, their scope and complexity learned me a lot of new experience and provided me with solid hands-on different ways to think, plan and accomplish tasks.
Pfizer replaced Wyeth
Best Company I have ever worked for.
I loved working for Wyeth. everyone got along. I also leaned a lot. If I did not leave I would have been promoted. The first company to take me overseas, I went to Paris for my training.
Our boss was the most wonderful and amazing human being. He spoke well and gave positive criticism. A gentleman at all times.
Wyeth was my family from my family.

Pros
Training available, opportunity to learn
Cons
no room to expand
professional but paternalistic corporate
diverse day dealing with senior levels down to junior levels. specialised in compensation and benefits which provided an opportunity to learn more about this, the culture tended to be very political. The long hours were difficult with small children. Enjoyed my team
Pros
very good salaries
Cons
then the long hours and the politicking
Lack of organisational support.
Lack of formal on the job training.The role is challenging,enjoyable but unfortunately not all the duties one is employed to do have been utilised. The culture is hostile due to people or management.Work life balance is none existent.
Good place to work
Job security is fragile, and one doesn't know what the future will hold as management is tight-lipped.
But an excellent company to work for. The benefits and culture are excellent

Workplace Culture
Pfizer has a diverse culture with a high quality transparent policies and values. It is an equal oppertunity employer. I like its OWNIT! logo & culture.
Productive, Fun,
The workplace culture was amazing. There would be times where you would have to put in extra hours at work and that would not go unnoticed. There was an open door policy where you could address issues with your manager. The company took care of its employees - subsidized cafeteria, gym at work, just to name a few.
Pros
Gym at work
The perfect springboard
Working at Pfizer is all about ownership and responsibility. Our professional environment coupled with our high quality of colleagues enables us to perform optimally on a daily basis. I feel empowered as a Pfizer employee, in which my manager and team encourages me to take chances and work to the best of my ability. Our environment is very inclusive and integrity is one of our key pillars. The most enjoyable part of my job is working with people and data to create strategies for my portfolio. I enjoy the challenge associated with effective marketing. The toughest part of the job is the administration requirements as there is often a large amount of paperwork required. Overall, Pfizer has afforded me the opportunity to develop into a strong brand manager, for which I am extremely grateful.
Highly Productive and fun culture workplace
I am enjoying myself working for Pfizer, the opportunity they have afforded me really did push me to come out of comfort zone. They challenged me so much that I need even more challenge with other companies. They allow personal growth by affording you the opportunity to study further. They invest in ones potential.
The culture in Pfizer allows you to have both work and personal time off so as to ensure that you have work and life balance. Your character and behavioral culture they fuse allows one to be conscious and always keep in mind that there is more to life than working one self to the hospital or just plain overworking.

a great place to work for
A typical day is highly productive but also highly rewarding and with great contentment.
I have learnt that working for a productive, fast paced organization need not be at the expense of your sanity and your time spent with family.
Management at Pfizer is awesome, find ways to better the lives of employees without being lax on targets. Management is innovative and are "human" first and managers after.
The culture is great, I am genuinely happy. It feels like my second home.
Meeting targets but I am more than happy to go the extra mile because I am happy. I thrive on challenges because im not discouraged from taking risks and failure is not frowned upon as long as I have learnt from it and improve upon my mistakes. management embraces innovation and individuality and aim to make things fair for everyone. I love working for Pfizer South Africa!!!!

Unpredictable, challenging, long hours
Unpredictable, challenging, long hours. Very hierarchical even though structure is very flay, making advancement into management difficult and entirely dependent on someone's departure.
Pros
Plenty of learning opportunity, challenging
Cons
Lack of investement in proper systems
