Global Brands Undergraduate Review

Global Brands Undergraduate, this involves getting involved in a wide range of business activities from supply chain issues, to generating patient and healthcare professional assets including websites and leaflets, market research, leasing with legal colleagues and other tasks. I have a vast range of responsibilities that has massively increased since the beginning of my placement where I didn't know anything about the pharma industry. I regularly communicate with internal colleagues, customers and agencies.

Pfizer provided a marketing masterclass in which we learnt about marketing, the pharmaceutical industry and Pfizer. There is also a lot of training around the pharmaceutical industry given to you in the first two months which can be overwhelming but Pfizer were amazing and understanding, helping wherever possible. I have learnt so much during this placement. My skills from communication to knowledge to time management have vastly improved and I have gained irreplaceable knowledge

Yes, a lot. I have project managed two tasks and I am frequently asked to deal with situations which my manager expects me (although he is extremely useful and kind if not) to deal with myself. I have been given responsibility from my manager to liaise with global and I do not feel like an intern but yet like a full time colleague.

Colleagues at Pfizer could not be more friendly and helpful. I have never experienced such a friendly work environment. I feel I can reach out to my manager and wider team at any point if I want/need to and I know he will help me or find someone who can help me. Being a global business, there is also a lot of support and resources that are available for colleagues

Truly incredible. Every colleague really does believe in Pfizer's values and they are reflected in their personalities. I have received many hampers on placement and There are groups that can be joined such as LGBT and diversity group that colleagues can get stuck into. We have had a virtual meeting with a chef as a cook-off and exercise classes etc. Pfizer is also very charitable an have had colleague initiates raising money for Ukraine

I am absolutely loving my placement. Working with such a friendly team and being given tasks where I can see my output and the difference I am making is incredible. The placement has exceed my expectations. I didn't think I would be given as much responsibility and be creating a direct impact. I would love to return to Pfizer.

Yes

If your values do not match the companies, then the workplace will not be for you. You need to want to help patients and have fun while working very hard and be inclusive and understanding of everyone You don't need to know anything about the pharmaceutical industry before joining
