Pros

One of the biggest names in the pharma industry known for its strict adherence towards compliance and patient life improvement around the world. It is multicultural and some of the best professionals can be found in MSD

Cons

Growth is restricted if one is in support functions. Like an accountant can only move within the same department and not outside.
