Pros

Competitive compensation, outstanding benefits with minimal employee cost, generous 401K match and employee pension. Company culture fully supports work life balance. Challenging projects and opportunity for professional development.

Kontras

Decision making is a very slow process and requires multiple levels of approval and buy in. Alignment of the company's support functions and the business direction are not in sync. Communication from leadership down is not effective. Company "encourages" employees to speak their mind, but punishes those who do. Company is going through a mass global downsizing but is still operating under as though they have the same number of employees causing existing employees to do more with less and no ownership of work.

Pros

Great benefits like medical/dentist/vision, pension, stock option, 401k match. Co workers are excellent, pretty good on site symposiums, lot of diversity clubs/activities. Innovation is extremely welcomed. Diversity in research portfolio. AI/ML is heavily invested to make databases more efficient.

Kontras

Micro managing, especially within the biologics department, potentially others. Promotions are limited, and pay bump is poor. Company invests too much in buying companies rather than keeping talent - lay offs let go of great talented people. Merck is afraid of investing into exploratory biology and doesn’t take risk - they even admit they would rather see other companies clinical data or R&D data rather than taking a risk. Although it’s slow going in building new software, current databases are slow and needs much improvement. Extremely poor work/life balance.
