Pros

Merck has a lot of programs to help their employees gain exposure to all aspects of the company! This is something that should not be taken lightly when looking for your next opportunity. The growth potential is great!

Cons

This is a very left leaning company. Where diversity is at the forefront, this company tends to pressure people into thinking all the same. This is the opposite of diversity.
