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

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
