Pros

I loved working with the people. Leadership meant well, corporate had some work to do and was tough on the site, but we were a good team. We got the job done.

Cons

Pay issues, a lot of changes very quickly. Not managed well. Grew too fast to make improvements as needed. Employees suffered.

Pros

If you want a stable income or a chance at working for a large company, Merck is a good option. Use it as a stepping stone for bigger and better things.

Cons

Merck is a large organisation, if you think you can make a positive contribution to change, think again. Otherwise it will crush your soul! ERP infrastructure is in shambles. Auditing outcomes detrimentally take priority over the delivering of goods and services. Decisions from top management are made without consultation or thinking about logical consequence. Doing the bare minimum is sadly the way to survive.
