Pros

Merck has a very good mission and vision. Good Company overall. Our Vaccines are the tops! Good pay - but I think other companies are catching up or surpassing us.

Cons

People are overworked, under appreciated, and morale is very low. The communication is inconsistent and Sr. Mgt. relies on a "whisper down the lane" approach which is very risky for errors. Who do I work for? What should I be doing? There is too much ambiguity right now. Change is good but it has been constantly changing and we are not sure what our end goal is.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
