Pros

Prior to 2000, I was at Schering-Plough Singapore and found the company to be a great and fun place to work. Staff are friendly and helpful, it has that small family feeling-- Kampong. Things may have changed a lot now after Merck's acquisition..

Cons

I think the place has grown really big and the atmosphere has definitely changed from the Kampong feeling to u know what esp.. after the M&A.. good luck.

Good benefits package and a nice matching 401k plan. Salaries can be good depending on your situation in the company.

There is a potential for a freeze within the company that does not allow any movement for career advancement. Employees can get lost within the structure of the organization.
