      Used to be amazing. A bit unrecognizable now.

      Pros

      Good people. Some nice perks- credit union, gym on site, volunteer time, etc.

      Cons

      VERY political. Upper Management often focused on doing what's best for them personally, with no concern about being open/ transparent/ honest. Recent policies are hindering work getting done quickly and efficiently.

      Big Pharma and all the trappings but a game changer for patients

      Clinical oncology specialist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Merck Oncology has brought to market a game changing immune checkpoint inhibitor. Keytruda (pembrolizumab) has revolutionized oncology treatment. The agent is well tolerated and extends patient’s lives in so many different disease states. Representing this agent was a joy and privilege. So great to hear about patients doing so well on therapy from physicians and nurses.

      Cons

      Merck is heavy with process and red tape. It’s really hard to do your job because there are so many arbitrary rules Merck outs in place over an above the highly scrutinized government regulation of pharma companies. Additionally, there are too many reps in a geography so you end up competing with colleagues for access and appointment with customers.
