Pros

Very big pharmaceutical company. Many success. A lot of money so nice and fancy seminars... Good name to have on your resume.

Cons

So powerful that they treat contractors poorly. Our managers can't do anything regarding bad treatment or crazy workload. Merck is too powerful client. Lack of English during everyday work. Very poor process which make the work tiresome and tedious and complicated. Merck employees treat us as stupid contractors. some of them made me cry several times. overall terrible company culture which rely on pointing the mistakes and make you feel not competent. If you stay to long you will loose your confidence.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
