Pros

Benefits, safety, learning, people, ethics.

Cons

No talent management and poor retention (yes, it's really poor). At last 5 years I have had an evaluation as upper on MYPMP. When my business unity closed, i was 'fired' without any propose or study to stay in Merck. Just a polite goodbye. Two days after, i was hired by other big pharmaceutical company (that has a serious talent acquisition program).

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.
