Pros

Nice facility. Decent cafeteria. Underground parking.

Cons

Inbread IT management has led to an unimaginable arogance. Lots of naked emperors making cluless decsions. Outside voices ignored. Not invented here syndrom prevails. A rare outside hired director told me, there isn't one best practice we don't violate. Merck would do well to outsource the entire operation to true professionals.
