Business Outlook
Pros
Merck still has some incredible people who are dedicated, intelligent and passionate about their work and the difference they make each day. While the quality of products and innovation is not what it once was at Merck, there continues to be a goal of creating novel compounds as opposed to me too products. While the benefits of most companies in the industry are pretty similar, I applaud Merck for not making significant changes in the benefit program in light of the difficult times that the company has experienced.
Cons
Senior Management promote in their image versus quality, this is likely the biggest disadvantage. Quality work is rarely recognized or appreciated if you are not on the favorite list.
