Anybody receiving emails from Pfizer that the roles you applied for are not being filled anymore due to internal changes in headcount? Is that a real reason or is that just an excuse they typically offer to disqualified candidates?

Never heard back and had an internal referral….

sorry man that sucks

I have a friend who works at Pfizer and I was told they are laying off people

There are a lot of reorganizations happening right now. It’s a legit reply.

Got a similar message from BMS

I'm sorry to hear that. I dont have a reason, but I can help you with future roles with a referral as sometimes that helps. Please feel free to reach out to me if you do come across something.
