Pros

Friendly colleagues, and some friendly managers

Cons

Bad organisation and structure, to much pressure to hit unrealistic targets. No product availability, and bad customer service. Very expensive products with average quality compared to competitors. Long lead times with expensive delivery charges that put Merck in disadvantage against competitors. Not enough staff to provide good customer service.
