      Pros

      Merck is very flexible for high performing employees. I enjoy working with and learning from high caliber people. My total compensation is very fair for my level of responsibility and contribution.

      Cons

      It is so big, that you can feel lost in the landscape. Because of the size, there are low performing individuals who seem to skate through undetected. There are also a number of people who have not worked anywhere else and they seem to struggle to adapt in ways that could re-vitalize the work place.

      Pros

      This is a great company overall. Good pay and benefits. You will find lots of talented / experienced individuals at the site.

      Cons

      Beware of the big "inclusion" push. You are included if you think and act like the senior leadership team. If you do not fit the mold, inclusion ends. No place for new or innovative ideas. Under-qualified people appointed as managers and directors completely lost and creating a lot of hardship to direct reports. New projects are staffed with educated but rather unexperienced "engineers" who cause lots of errors, high amounts of scrap material and schedule delays shooting costs way above budget.
