Pros
The compensation is very good and so are the benefits. One of the only companies that still has a fully funded pension plan. There are a lot of smart, caring people working at Merck . In the past, there have been good opportunites for advancement and opportunities to learn many different job functions.
Cons
The company has changed very much in the past few years. People do not feel valued and morale is at an all time low. Changes are occuring too often and the changes don't always make sense to the "worker bees". Senior leadership continues to be extremely well compensated (in the millions of dollars) and the regular employees are being asked to cut what is already a bare bones operation.
