Pros

Been with Merck for 10+ years and have had many opportunities to move between functions and even divisions. Challenging but also rewarding work

Cons

Job securities are on people's minds due to several round of layoffs. Experience level and capability are not what they used to be. Acquiring SP was not a good decision....inherited many issues with not a lot of benefits

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.
