Pros

At Merck you will have the opportunity to make a difference. There are many different aspects within the current environment that are open for development by someone who is willing to put forth the effort.

Cons

The environment is somewhat sober. Most people are so busy that it is difficult to develop close or personal relationships. There are also many new changes and processes that must be followed. The first time through can be somewhat painful, and when you think you finally have it, the process gets changed. We are moving toward standardization, which should, eventually, make the business run more smoothly...for now, though, there are growing pains.
