Pros

Stable company that pays decent

Cons

Too many layers of management. Company says it needs to get younger and hire more millennials and females...but the people making those decisions are the old white male leaders who got the company in the situation it is.

Pros

It was a job. I got paid

Cons

Long hours, forced overtime, unnecessarily stressful work due to poor company strategy and management failings, excessive "Merck-speak", a slow mamoth of a company rapidly approaching extinction, with a poor drug pipeline, a history of separations and no respect for its staff.
