Business Outlook

Pros

To have a job, a paycheck and benefits.

Cons

Each division is like a separate entity- no sense of unity or teamwork towards a common goal. Employees are discontent. Promotions are all political, not based on performance. At Merck, it is definitely Who you know, not What you know.
