Avantages

There are some really top-notch scientists working at Merck, and there is a culture of scientific excellence. Flexible work arrangements are available. You feel that you are helping meet people's medical needs.

Inconvénients

The work load is getting extreme in some cases as management tries to get more done while reducing the number of employees. Some managers expect employees to respond to emails at night and on weekends. The salaries of long-term employees lag behind what they would be paid as new hires.

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.
