Pros

Merck looks good on the resume.

Cons

Very hard to switch careers or even slightly change career trajectory. Employees are for the most part pigeonholed in to the type of work they did when they first got hired

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.
