Pros

still decent benefits. some empowerment for smaller things. the company is generous to the needy (free or discounted drugs).

Cons

Management's first priority appears to be promoting minorities. If you're a white male, don't bother applying. This strategy has left the company with leaders who can't lead, or develop a workable strategy. Their intent is to save their way to success, and the only way they know how to save is to layoff employees and outsource. "We have to cut costs to compete", yet Merck has built a new hanger to house their new larger jets. They talk empowerment, but everything gets approved by many layers of management and worse, committees.
