Pros

Great Culture, empowering and growth focused. Promotes from within, excellent coaching Stable, excellent product pipeline Company Car, expense account and exotic trips for high performers

Cons

The changes in the reimbursment arena will make for some lean times at Schering Plough. Also, with a potential Merger, there will most likely be some sales force displacement

Pros

Very process oriented. Employees have a strong academic and technical expertise. Salaries are very competitive and benefits still include a pension plan.

Cons

Layoffs have created a high level of uncertainty with your job security. Individuals are overworked, with far too many meetings. There is a air of superiority from the legacy Merck employee over those from Schering and Organon.
