Will Pfizer keep us Iam scared !

Quote




























































The entire culture will change even if Pfizer keeps you. I made it through the Wyeth process and the company and co-workers I loved working for/with changed overnight! The company I was left with only cared about the Pfizer culture which highlighted patient focused products/initiatives but really only cares about $$$! I look back and think I would have been better if I would have been "separated" at the beginning.

The process to be pushed into the Pfizer culture and the departure from the Wyeth "family" always made me feel like a square peg being pushed into a round hole. Pfizer colleagues cheer, protect, promote each other. It takes a lot of time to drink the blue kool aid and find your way!

Good luck and get ready for things to move fast once all the approvals are processed. Wyeth/Pfizer "merger" was announced in January and separation calls were made in October/November. After that the "new" Pfizer rolled out the internal processes changed at lightening speed. All the systems, policy's, products were converted to Pfizer almost overnight. People, territories and product focus was re-arranged without any understandable reasons. No regard to product experience and territory relationships. Which continues to happen today. You will be moved and switched to fit Pfizer's needs, not based on your experience or skill sets. And this may happen three times in a year, because it is what Pfizer wants/needs. No appreciation or consideration will be provided to you. Keep tally yourself and push for credit on your field activity reports and get ready to keep writing your mid year reviews, yearly reviews. The administrative bs is some days never ending!

Welcome to big blue! You want a "to go" glass of that?
 












Even if they keep you it is a terrible company to work for. They have no direction and make reorganization changes yearly. You will be left wondering time after time if they need you! It might be the best thing to get your severance, hopefully something like that is in place, and move on with your life. Good luck everyone!

Just like any other cult.
If Pfizer is so wonderful then tell me why the only way you stay afloat is by buying your products. If being a mindless robot is your idea of being fixed then take your company and shove it up your ass.
 






You bought the bio sims because, like everything else you sell, you can't do it. Your r&d sucks, your sales force is 50% contract, and your leadership is ridiculous. Always looking fo a life raft.
A company that can't fix itself is doomed.... Only a matter of time.
In the words of the prophet GFY. You'll need your Viagra to do it.

Be more scared if you are retained. If you want to be treated like a teenager and be rewarded to act like a first grader you'll love Pfizer. If you have a brain, think for yourself, and possess any self respect you won't fit in at Pfizer.
 






I also was with Wyeth when acquired by Pfizer and got cut. They actually cut 85% of us immediately. Most of the reps that were kept were in product areas they had no experience with like vaccines and rheumatology. A hand full of other reps were kept. This was in keeping with what they did with other companies as well. In successive Pfizer layoffs reps who were from other companies were the first to go, so start making your plans accordingly. It takes a long time for these deals to close. Most of us waited for packages and stock options, but if you find a magnificent opportunity you should consider it. I have ended up in another pharma company for the past 4 years after waiting for my package. (I don't know how good your packages are)
