Pros

The benefits of the company cannot be beat.

Cons

Any person who is not taken into the "fold" does not stand a chance ever retiring from Merck. You cannot voice new opinions without the ideas falling on deaf ears or someone else taken credit for it. You are not encouraged to think outside of the box or to even go ask for help from anyone other than HR. And then HR cannot do anything unless approved by management. So that is a no win situation.

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.
