Pros

Top quality science and excellent colleagues. Merck is a place where you can really make a difference and improve healthcare

Cons

Through constant reorganizations much of the company and especially upper management appears to focus primarily on preserving their jobs, which hurts morale

Pros

Not many. Health benefits ok but not great. I am struggling to write something positive. There has been some really great people that have worked in Durham but many have left. Future not looking good.

Cons

Every 6 months or less some small pro gets eliminated. Good stuff shrinking. Lots of good people left in last 3 years due to toxic environment.

Pros

Still has good benefits and is a relatively stable company

Cons

There is no loyalty remaining at the company. More and more work has been moved Ex-US and external partnerships. Working within the company does not allow you the same opportunities to develop it once did.
