Business Outlook
Pros
Good benefits, moderate security, well established company without excess administrative documentation. There are many very experienced people with long term tenure, so people can learn from colleagues. Merck has the structure and background to maximize its business.
Cons
Silo thinking, lack of communication and managers with less experience and knowledge making the wrong decisions. Communication dropped when the FDA fined the company for some field based activities. This drop in communication resulted in valuable knowledge not being transferred from the field to headquarters. This was frustrating for the field and lots of people are reevaluating their career options.
