Merck reviews

Merck is full of extremely talented people (which became even more evident to me after I left), and this will help to raise your own personal performance. In my department, promotions were handed out based on a combination of seniority and performance, though for higher level promotions, seniority rarely played a role. I felt that decisions on promotions were fair and highly transparent (got passed up once and got promoted another time); politics wasn't much of a factor. I believe that the pay and benefits at Merck were comparable to other large pharmaceutical companies and may have been slightly better than in most industries. Employees in my area were generally quite proud to work at Merck, though this had been declining in recent years. Perhaps the main reason that I stayed as long as I did was the fact that I was friends with so many of my coworkers. When I started out of college, there were 15-20 of my peers in my department close to my age. In my experience, it is very common for people at Merck to socialize outside of work. Not every company is like this.
