Pros

Flexible from a work life balance perspective, good products, smart/passionate people

Cons

Sr. Management gets in its own way. Major silos which prohibit quick decision making. Employees live in constant fear of layoffs. No longer the most admired company.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
