Pros
Good pay and benefits. Provides a feeling of accomplishment through compensation plans. Reasonable work and life balance. Some opportunities for career advancement, but far less options than in the past.
Cons
There is constant change which occurs within Merck and the entire pharmaceutical sector. It is longer a place where most employees will remain during their entire career. Downsizing on an annual basis has become the norm.
