Pros

Very talented people working in the labs, among the smartest in the world. Very well run company logistically, things got done quickly and with very few mistakes. Hard working but enjoyable working atmosphere.

Cons

Opportunities are limited by your education level. Appeared the politics were in play much more at senior levels At the time senior scientific management did not communicate effectively their strategy.

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.
