Pros

Flexibility to work from home. Manager takes care of staff and ensure we are meeting challenges at work to help us stay satisfied in our roles.

Cons

Continuing downsizing efforts to cut headcount and aggressive cost cutting measures have led to low morale in the organization. Difficult to get progression although efforts were put in. Depends on open vacancies, not on merits. Not much focus on professional development in recent years.

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.
