      Gave my heart & soul to the company @ the WP site and was laid off after 20 years of service when I turned 50.

      Pros

      "Forbes' Most Admired American Company for 7 years"... 25 years ago. Looks good on the resume to say that you worked at Merck in the past. Pay and benefits acceptable. Severance package was great, but the company has scaled back on it for future severed employees.

      Cons

      George Merck's quote "... medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits" is now largely ignored. It's all about the money and "do it fast Fast FAST". The West Point site used to have a "Pride in Quality" program that promoted quality and doing things right the first time - even sponsored a day in the summertime for the "Q-lympics" with fun & games designed to highlight quality and promote that mindset. That program no longer exists.
