Pros

If you have a good manager it can be great. You can jump from role to role easily if they like you.

Cons

- Pfizer’s acquisition of Seagen destroyed the great culture we had in Bothell. - Pfizer’s culture is a popularity contest, especially in the New York scene. They admit as much in department meetings. They'll keep bringing back people they laid off if they like them, despite incompetence or job qualifications. - I've never had a more toxic manager or experience than at Pfizer. If the manager doesn't like you or doesn't want to hear your ideas, the accepted culture is to quiet fire people until they leave. (So I left, rather than be treated like garbage.) - They want robots to follow orders, no creative or innovative ideas welcome. They hide their true intentions under a disguise of being collaborative. - toxic leadership is encouraged to be as such and defended by HR

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.
