Pros

After the merger with Schlering Plough work was consistent.

Cons

Lower & Middle management needs leadership skills training. In 6-9 mos they were made into supervisor and managers. 40% of the staff is contingent workers but instead of hiring experienced worker the workforce is new entry college graduates and bi-lingual employees who have no experiences but just know the language that management needs to do business. Definitely a lot of favoritism.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
