Pros

good work environment and great people flexibility (working hours and work from home) good salary and benefits if you are a Merck's employee fresh fruits every morning, free friday breakfast and cakes once a month

Cons

it's a good company if you are a Merck's employee, if you are a contractor there are some differences in treatment(salary and benefits, accessibility to vacancies) management sometimes not so good and it changes very often
