Pros

Professional development is a cornerstone to working at Merck. The opportunities to gain valuable experience are plentiful if you are willing to put in the effort and time.

Cons

The current climate is the biggest downside. While the industry is suffering as a whole, the climate at headquarters is grim. Ongoing cuts are building to a new peak, and the rest of 08 will likely continue to be tough, and frankly scary.

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.
