Merck+Schering=Disaster

Business Outlook

Pros

Good team; Flexible time; good benefits

Cons

Merger with Schering has resulted in a huge company with many layers; Promotions and recognition is based on who you know and not on performance. Huge bias in treatment of employees. Senior management is not fully aware of what goes on in lower levels.

Pros

At Merck, one might be able to get relatively good pay. On top that, the pension plan and health care are also attractive.

Cons

Like every other big pharmaceutical companies, Merck is facing the problems of generic competition and patent expiration. The employment future is uncertain.
