Pros

The global compensation package is good

Cons

Company seems indifferent to its employees. It is all about visibility. If you do a good job and stay low - good luck. Doing your job well has no basis on your ratings - its all about initiatives that leads no where. The company has become a fraternity. Only certain cliques are allowed upward moblity

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.
