Pros

Flexible work arrangements, many on site services, decent health care benefits but not sure how long that will last

Cons

Constant fear of layoffs, those who aren't laid off get more to do If you are salaried, no such thing as overtime OR a 40 hour work week. You are expected to work 50 hours + plus check in on nights and weekends.

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.
