Business Outlook
Pros
This is a highly structured, well funded organization. The benefits are great. The senior leaders are really trying to bring Merck back to its place of prominence and glory within American business. There are also many very smart and hard working people who care deeply about the company.
Cons
The problem is that the senior leaders are too wrapped up in the processes and policies. There are many internal handcuffs placed on employees that restricts their abilities to perform normal business functions. I believe an outsider would be stupefied to learn how even simple email and voice mail communications are restricted. It is definitely a "Big Brother" culture.
