Avantages

The mission of the company is great, some good scientists still remain, and Merck has the resources and infrastructure of a large multinational company.

Inconvénients

Morale in the research division is poor because of job insecurity and because nearly all decisions must be elevated to the highest levels. Job insecurity seems to be contributing to a more political environment, a lack of engagement among employees, poor behavior by managers/VPs, and a reluctance for people to speak up..

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.
