Pros

Flexible work schedule. Work from home option for most employees.

Cons

Constantly worried about losing your job. Not given the opportunity to make decisions without going through 20 layers fro approval. Unfocused upper management, constantly changing directions without seeing what is working or not. Everything is about making more money.

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.
