Pros

- There are a lot of career options within the company so you can choose to move around while staying with Merck - Pension available - Hybrid model allows some work from home

Cons

- Work/Life balance can be a struggle but is largely dependent on your manager - West Point site seems to be moving to a lot of "open floor plan" and unassigned seating, which can be very distracting/frustrating - Mandated return-to-work can be tough for some people that have otherwise remote jobs

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.
