Pros

Flexible hours in certain fields and few restrictions on scientific resources to do very interesting science.

Kontras

The annual salary increases are actually below COL therefore each year you actually receive a decrease in pay. Corporate rhetoric claims they offset this with bonuses. Salary deference between starting PhD (0 yrs industry experience) and people with 5+ yrs experience is in tens of thousands. Use Merck for a couple years to put on your resume and then move quickly if you don't get laid of during a "reorg."

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.
