Pros

its in NJ. if you are based in NJ, it's an option.

Cons

poor decisions have hurt the reputation of the company- both prior to Hassan joining and initiating the 'turnaround', and after the 'turnaround'. The turnaround was successful, and placed an emphasis on ethical behavior- yet recent alleged events in Senior Mgmt undermined this mission. I have never seen such bad luck, combined with lack of decision-making or poor decisions, affect a company so lastingly. Morale is low, job cuts are occurring, I would be surprised if the company is still around in 5 years.

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.
