Pros

Merck just celebrated its 125th anniversary. Developing cutting edge cancer drugs! Very talented people dedicated to advancing science and healthcare.

Cons

Exodus of top talent across the board. Downsizing and outsourcing with unrealistic timelines. Leadership not held accountable at expense of support staff. Low employee morale with broken promises.

Pros

Decent salaries compared to similar companies Flexible schedules are allowable in certain positions

Cons

Merck has become a disgusting place to work. I'm in Operations, and deal with union employees regularly. This is like working with a large group of toddlers that you're trying to get to accomplish a task, except the toddlers have legal backing and higher salaries than you, so their temper tantrums usually mean more. In addition, being a manager at Merck means absolutely nothing, which is definitely not the norm - usually, going somewhere and being a manager has a certain power and responsibility with it, but at Merck it just means you're expected to work 16 hours/day, and whatever weekend you're needed, and be grateful. The benefits have been decreasing A LOT since I started - health insurance quality has dropped, and has become more expensive. Also, educational assistance has become virtually nonexistent - the company will pay for the equivalent of 5 credits per year, making any degree not worth the time it would take.
