      Retaliatory Culture - Quality Assurance Specialist Merck Employee Review

      Pros

      Salary, 401k benefits, comprehensive insurance

      Cons

      The manufacturing division (MMD) supports retaliatory practices by intentionally imbalancing workload, overloading non-favorited employees, in order to then write up and negatively review those employees per HR when they cannot perfectly handle multiple people’s workload. If you are fast tracked, you will have a good experience. If you are not, management will not seek to develop you, even if you ask for opportunities. The opportunities they provide will simply be more of the same work, which will then be used to justify not backfilling other employees, because you can absorb their workload but non of their compensation

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
