Amazing parental leave package Company wide shutdown for holiday season Focus on diversity and inclusion (really care to listen and take action) Take action when concerns are mentioned Constantly updating perks and benefits Great mission Great leadership including our CEO

Cons

Salary for a new employees is very high, but for existing employees who are not high on the ladder and not young or new, it is hard to move up or get paid as much as new or young employees.

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.
