Pros

This is not a "drinking the cool aid" review. Having spent 15+ years at Merck, I've experienced both prosperous and challenging times. Despite the negative press Merck has received in recent years, it remains an excellent place to work. Historically, Merck has been stuck in the way we've always done business. Based on the current challenges we face, significant opportunities exist for those who want to help reshape how Merck will return to be a competitive player in the pharmaceutical sector. Despite downsizing, excellent advancement opportunities are available. Compensation and benefits continue to be better than most other large enterprises.

Cons

challenging business environment, many resistent to culture change, divisional silos

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.
