Pros

If you like cut-throat competition and back-stabbing, this is the place for you. The reputation of the company in the industry is great, but not much else.

Kontras

Due to years and years of layoffs and contstant restructuring -- all in the name of saving money - everyone is on edge and worried for their own job. Lots of extremely catty women and insecure men jockeying to keep their positions before the next re-org. Truly a toxis environment. Leaders leaving left and right all because they would rather cut people than reduvce costs in other ways. Merck believes it's reputation is so great that they don't have to pay people as well as other companies because people want to work there so badly. Once hired, people quickly have regrets.

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.
