Pros

Great colleagues, excellent benefits, including medical, 401K, pension when I started. Most managers care about their people.

Cons

Pension will move to cash balance in 2020, medical is now expensive and coverage is lousy. Upper management (CEO, VPs, etc) are milking this company dry. Lay people off but yet CEO collects millions in stock options. Will face patent expiry on many products and will become specialty driven

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.
