Pros

Good pay and benefits. The products the company develops, manufatures and sells are vital to improving a patients quality of life and they save lives.

Cons

In the manufacturing setting, due to the current layoff climate, there seems to be a lot of finger pointing, particularly at the lower levels. Unfortunately, regardless of personal performance, lots of times the squeaky door gets heard over the objective results.

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.
