Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Pfizer to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Pfizer
Put a lot of effort into the application form - it's really long, but Pfizer has far fewer rounds of interview than other companies. I got an offer from GSK and there were nearly double the amount of stages in the interview process, so each stage really counts at Pfizer. Unlike many other companies, all Pfizer applicants are screened by humans rather than AI, so feel free to really express yourself in the applications!
