Pros

Merck values its employees and tells them so in many ways. Lots of very smart and dedicated people at Merck. Work can be intense, but in a good and satisfying way. Always lots to be done. Professionally very stimulating/challenging environment. Great benefits! Insustry norm on payroll. Good employee retention. Best company I've ever worked for...wish I'd found this position 20 years ago.

Cons

Many approval levels can slow progress but company has an active program to speed-up workflow processes.
