Pros

I have a great supervisor. There are a number of good 1st level supervisors. Unfortunately the 2nd level and above management have no absolutely no concern about supporting the 1st level supervisors and the day to day operations. The pay level is competitive and the benefits are good and there is an active after-work sports program for employees to participate in. The company is slowly phasing in flexible work schedules.

Kontras

turmoil about the future, inconsistent forward looking by upper management, Merck is contracting out work to other companies for manufacturing of products rather than reducing internal cost structures to make the company more competitive.

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.
