Pros

Work life balance is possible. However, occasional long hours are needed. Depends on the group. In summer, there are summer hours with half a day on Friday. Great educational assistance policy that covers most of the tuition.

Cons

Lack of recognition by management. Not well defined career paths. Probably would have to move to another area to move vertically up.

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.
