Pros

Work life balance is a plus when it comes to raising a family. Being able to attend school events once and a while during the day, or working from home on occasion is a big plus.

Cons

Merck is currently re-inventing itself and is seeking those opportunities for growth. While change is critical to growth, it can be taxing on the culture as employees try to hang on to old ways of thinking and doing things.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
