      Pros

      do very little for your salary. if you work remote, you work 1-2 hours a day tops

      Cons

      they must make a ton of money because they hand it out to people by the boatload who do very little. remote workers are usually out shopping all day or living the life. if you put in 1-2 hours a day nobody asks questions. all these jobs can be condensed into one job for the most part.

      OK but not Great

      Pros

      Hardly anyone in the company actually does anything, so being one of the few people who does something, rather than just managing people who do stuff, makes you exceptional.

      Cons

      Everything is harder and takes longer than it needs to. For IT people, expect a minimum of 10 weeks to get a database or any other infrastructure. If you are a good developer, expect to be overwhelmed with work because there are so few of us around.

      Pros

      If you are looking for a job with great benefits and good pay, Merck is your place. Great benefits! Pay is market based, yet also gender inequitable.

      Cons

      On the other side..If you are looking for growth and development, not your place. Culture is too structured and conservative. Huge experience gaps or lifers, make it hard for new talent to gain traction. Developmental opportunities are strictly who you know and who likes you instead of potential and equal opportunity.
