Pluspunten
If you a talented financial person and can operate effectively in high stress environment this is for you. This is an opportunity to show that you are innovative and knowledgeable, and you will leapfrog over the many staff accountants (CPS's). There is opportunity to get involved on one of the many acquisitions (integration projects), divestitures or re-organization projects at Pfizer. There are many permanent and temporary assignments with the opportunity to relocate across the globe for this fortune 100 company.
Minpunten
The shared services organization is always subject to down sizing and other cost cutting measures as Pfizer continues to open "Off-Shore" Shared Services organizations (Poland, China, India, Costa Rica,..) and the "Lift and Shift" policy of resources is reinforced daily. If you are the coming into this organization just be warned that the Shared Services group does not develop their people. and do not value experienced professionals. The technology is always 5 to 10 years behind standard business practices (MS-Office, In 2014, moved off Windows XP). "GFS" Leadership frequently changes and each leader has to place their own "thumbprint" on the organization, which basically, means throwing a wrench into the works to influence talented employees to leave the organization.
