Pros

Admire the CEO and business mission. New CIO.

Cons

IT is way too top-heavy. Support process VPs and EDs are making decisions without understanding downstream impacts of how much work is needed to complete a request...over the years i have seen decisions reversed and even more money spent to change things back.

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.
