Pros

Competitive pay and benefits (although benefits are quickly decreasing). People at the "bottom" are great to work with. The name "Merck" looks good on a resume, which you'll probably be needing soon.

Cons

Honestly, too many to list. Leadership, or lack of, lacks vision. There is little to no transparency, little information comes top --> down. There is no sense of worth afforded to employees. We are simply numbers, resources... not people in the eyes of senior "leadership"

Pros

Some great and talented people work here.

Cons

No direction and leadership. Poor managerial behaviors tolerated and encouraged. Gross misconduct and mistreatment of employees. Morale is low and yet they offer no real solutions for this. Talk is cheap and actions are absent.
