Pros

• Extremely well-managed company • Excellent benefits • History of excellence in scientific research and break-through products • Outstanding career path options if and only if you love living in Northeast and are obsessed with biopharma industry • Philadelphia is a great city to live in

Kontras

• As one of the world's top vaccine makers massively bungled COVID-19 vaccination • Slow, bureaucratic • HQ location is miserable: hot, humid, and remote location over an hour from Philadelphia • Merck is basically "a law firm which makes drugs" • Very few options to move up in the company beyond 5 years even at HQ • Merck is effective in sales, but kind of a miserable place to be after 12 months

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.
