Pros

Great products being made for the world. Saving lives. Coworkers are trusted while others are only here at the company to be only promoted to Associate Directors/Director roles and quit later for jobs at other companies.

Cons

Micromanagement at it's best, politics and high turnover rate. There isn't room for job growth opportunities but the same employees constantly grow in different directions. Company passes over qualified employees for job promotions or job advancement that employees deserve for personal reasons which is ridiculous.

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.
