      Pros

      This is my 4th multinational company where the others were also all fortune 500 and MSD stands out to be the best... A lot of improvement opportunities for self driven employees Senior leadership believe in people and empowers them Ability to navigate like an entrepreneur in a huge company with many resources

      Cons

      A highly matrix organization like other big companies; where under the definition of "collaboration" compromises is expected.

      Pros

      The Higher Purpose - helping patients The people are of high calibre Opportunity to work on interesting innovative projects Very good benefits for employees

      Cons

      American values and culture as the norm (Global = US) - senior leadership is all in US, diversity is through the US lens, rather than international. Lots of internal politics from the US Communicating positivity, to the point of being disingenuous Lots of committees and bureaucracy, slow to change and get things done
