Pros

Merck is trying hard to overcome patent expiration issues. Hopefully, their oncology franchise will help them out. They finally ended their CIA.

Cons

They have been downsizing for 8 years with no end in sight.

Pros

Learning is everywhere. Plenty of gurus and legend. Science is strong and is open to publication. Colleagues interact quite often.

Cons

Growth opportunities vary depending on groups. Too many processes that slow down work productivity. Leaders may like people who talk more and do less but I guess it is not unique to Merck
