Pros

Exciting projects to work on. Varied animal groups to work with. Amazing benefits!

Cons

Inexperienced, discriminatory, and unprofessional managers. Most managers only cared about who brown-nosed or stroked their ego, so anyone who had experience, a degree, a great work ethic, etc didn't matter in comparison to their little buddies. The managers will help turn your co-workers against you because they don't like to hear what needs to be done to solve team issues. HR is no help and is just as corrupt as management and upper management. It was disappointing because the job itself was great and the good apples were pushed out of the company over time or remained there miserable. Sexist company--will promote and hand out raises to males over females even if the males are entry level or don't do their job. No raise or promotion was given to me after 4 years!

Pros

Great benefits like medical/dentist/vision, pension, stock option, 401k match. Co workers are excellent, pretty good on site symposiums, lot of diversity clubs/activities. Innovation is extremely welcomed. Diversity in research portfolio. AI/ML is heavily invested to make databases more efficient.

Cons

Micro managing, especially within the biologics department, potentially others. Promotions are limited, and pay bump is poor. Company invests too much in buying companies rather than keeping talent - lay offs let go of great talented people. Merck is afraid of investing into exploratory biology and doesn’t take risk - they even admit they would rather see other companies clinical data or R&D data rather than taking a risk. Although it’s slow going in building new software, current databases are slow and needs much improvement. Extremely poor work/life balance.
