Pfizer is it normal for new hires not to have orientation? Also in terms of being in the office, I understand is two days in the office but wondering if there’s flexibility some weeks when you may want to work from home

It depends of the location, but where I'm located, they do monthly orientation for new hires.
For WFH, same comment as above.

Used to work at Pfizer, didn’t have orientation either. I was a contractor turned FTE so assumed it was due to that. As for wfh flexibility, it depends on your location and your manager. There were times I needed to wfh some weeks, but I would discuss it with my manager beforehand to see what works best.

Thanks so much, very helpful

You’re welcome, best of luck!

There is no orientation when I started and it depends on the role but if you are hybrid it is 2 to 3 days a week in the office.

I’ve been here for a long time (over 15 years) but know some of our new hires had orientation as recently as 2018. And the policy is 2 to 3 days in the office (an average of 2.5 days a week).
