Avantages

The pay, the mission, the science are all amazing, and I consider myself lucky to be given the opportunity to work among so many talented individuals.

Inconvénients

Management, through the over-use of outsourcing, is making what used to be a highly enjoyable and rewarding job much less so. Not only have we been letting go fantastic colleagues, but those with the resources to quickly move on (e.g. the really talented and engaged people) have been leaving steadily on their own... leaving behind "management types". It's a real shame, and I feel like the heart and soul of Merck is gone.

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.
