Some positives, a lot of cons - Anonymous employee Merck Employee Review

The onsite daycare is not a benefit. Most employees do not use it because it is overpriced even with the employee discount and is not managed appropriately. Location is not good. On my first day, I was told to adjust my work schedule according to the season because I did not want to walk through the parking lot at night. I witnessed a gun battle about 1 pm on the street in front of the building. People are shifted into new positions frequently with no imput from the employee. Often the job does not match the employee's strengths or experience.
