Pros

Interesting scientific work High impact to human health Well compensated (not highest in the industry, but still high paying) Flexible work environment (fully WFH throughout COVID pandemic)

Cons

Other large pharmaceutical firms pay more, which makes some talented coworkers go elsewhere for the extra income.

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.
