Pros

Great place to work. Great science, great people. Overall very happy with my experience as an intern, and if I wanted to stay in the pharmaceutical industry, I might pick Merck.

Cons

The work for a summer intern perhaps wasn't as challenging as it could have been. Some of the meetings were super boring, but it's science it happens.
