Pros

Unfortunately, I cannot think of any.

Cons

In preclinical drug discovery especially computational chemistry and structural biology: Extremely Male-dominated leadership and culture Favoritism and gatekeeping, especially by senior male staff Women’s contributions routinely overlooked or credited to others Unfair authorship practices; others presenting and claiming your work Promotions are rare and career progression is blocked by excessive internal levels Lack of transparency and support for career development Innovation is discouraged; risk-averse, traditional scientific mindset

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.
