Pros

Work-life balance is good; even your manager doesn't think he will have a job in the next year, so no one expects you to give "your all"; just put in your required time and then get the heck off of the computer.

Cons

Giving anything extra is looked upon in a negative way, as you are seen as an idiot if you do.

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.
