      Merck - A good place to work

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Merck is a large company that has many diverse opportunities for employees. This allows employees to seek out varying opportunities to develop without changing companies.

      Cons

      Merck is large and this sometimes allows people to get lost in the shuffle. What used to be a great company for growth and development of people, has now shifted more focus on the business priorities impacting the "personal" touch that employees sometimes need.

      Schering Plough is a tough workplace, but the money is good

      Associate manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remuneration - Salary compensation (as part of the pharmaceutical industry) is above average. People looking to increase their compensation should consider positions within pharma.

      Cons

      Combative environment - Due to some difficult events about six years ago, the culture of Schering Plough has changed. Unfortunately, these changes have had a negative influence on the culture, however has allowed the company (in revenue terms) to prosper.
