Pros

Merck offers great benefits for third parties. For example you can get a huge discount on most car makes and phone service providers. Compared to other companies the pay is quite competitive.

Cons

Lack of leadership and a culture that fosters negativity and arbitrary stigmas. I joined merck in order to transfer to a another department eventually and found out my manager has the final say whether I get to leave, which makes for impossible advancement.

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.
