Pros

I've worked at Merck for 7 years. I've consistently had great co-workers and feel passionate about my job and impact on patients. My managers are flexible and I often work from home if my children are sick. There is not a negative stigma if you need to schedule your work around your children as long as you get the work done.

Cons

I often feel as though I need to work in the evenings to keep up. As a manager my days are filled with meetings and the time to actually do work at my desk is low. Annual downsizing has negatively impacted the culture and there is attrition of a lot of great people .

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.
