Pros

Generous vacation time (25 days a year PTO, 1 flex day, federal holidays, Christmas shut down). Good benefits - 401k, pension, health insurance, compassionate time off. Solid pay and bonus structure.

Cons

Staying in one role for a long time to build depth of experience isn’t incentivized by promotions or pay raises. Moving around frequently is the primary way to progress your career.

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.
