Pros

- You will find some good friends - Great diversity and Inclusion

Cons

- No promotion or growth. - Leads makes sure you understand that contractors are below Merck staff - Only 45 min of Lunchtime - No matter if you excel above and beyond, your work will not be recognized - Management does not know how to lead - Communication and comprehension are at the very minimum. ( You can talk to them but expect almost zero understanding on their part) - Sanctions are group based - Leads and management do Micromanagement - Some leads are disrespectful to you as individual - The lead lies to upper management and uses you as a scapegoat - Stressing environment - The system in place does not work - The leads follow you when you step out for bathroom breaks or personal phone calls - They want you to be a brainless puppet - You have to cover your @ss with the leads, everything you converse with them has to be documented for your own good

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
