  • 7. Would you recommend Pfizer to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Pfizer

    • Do the best you can, and don't put on a front at interviews. They are really looking for your own personality, and it becomes clear after a few months that some people were not so honest. Because pfizer read my own and my colleagues personalities clearly, I have made firm friends in other undergraduates. Teamwork is so important, but some teams may need someone to steer conversation
