Pros

Large corporate company, can be good or bad depending on your tolerance for monolithic structure. Absolutely wonderful benefits and the pace of work is not overwhelming, though pleasantly challenging.

Cons

You are really just a number, for the most part. There is also a lot of political maneuvering that keeps innovation (at least for internal systems... not their actual products) moving like molasses in a Jersey winter day.

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.
