Pros

Great experience, moving the company in the right direction, good work-life balance depending on the position you take within the company, diverse upper level management (CEO and a couple layers down)

Cons

Direct management not very diverse on the lower totem poles, currently workers not valued on shop floor and a ton of turn-over due, in part, to the announcement of coming lay-offs

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.
