Avantages

good quality of research, good benefits, strong competitive recruitment, innovative research (uMap platform]

Inconvénients

Too much internal politics, with many excellent employees leaving for higher positions elsewhere. Over time, this has resulted in a disproportionate number of mediocre employees advancing to higher roles without having delivered meaningful results. A lot of wasted resources, department with hardly any tangible output over years, no accountability, a few people doing the actual work

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.
