Pros

Since joining Merck, the company is constantly looking to engage with employees; using feedback to make the work life better. Big on career development. Regular fun / social (non-work) activities provided by company to enjoy.

Cons

Some of the offices look a little dated, although the new Merck brand is very vibrant and it is only a matter of time before this comes through

Pros

Relaxed working environment, pretty much everyone has a PhD so there's plenty to learn. If you find doing just research satisfying enough then it is great.

Cons

Slow pace of research and reasonably slow career progression. Salary isn't as competitive as some other companies.
