Avantages

Excellent and rapid feedback. Managers contribute to solving problems, particularly with their access to higher levels of approval or management. Very accommodating to personal needs.

Inconvénients

Most IT work outsourced to India. Requirements gathering, and some architecture, for all large projects done in-house, but then engineering and actual development outsourced. Very cumbersome process for getting anything done by corporate IT. Many departments hire their own IT people, but under misleading titles, to get smaller projects done in-house. Most remaining engineering and coding done by on-site contractors.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
