Pros

Good pay with decent benefits, good vacation. What we do improves/saves lives. It's a good resume builder as the name carries some cache.

Cons

Constantly cutting costs and downsizing since Ken Frazer took over as CEO. No stability for employees due to constant cuts and restructurings. The company has a very short term focus. The only strategic initiative is to cut costs. All the short term decisions will hurt the company long term. Very small budgets for continuous improvement training.

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.
