Merck reviews

Due to flexible sourcing model, job opportunities in other areas of the business are outsourced out instead on becoming open to internal candidates. Spending on travel to conferences, client sites, and Merck sites have been cut. New requests for approval for MBA tuition reimbursement are on hold. Morale is extremely low, and i feel some people are bitter towards their collegaues because there is such fierce competition for jobs and bonuses.

Promotions - its a long difficult process to get a promotion even with excellent PMP ratings. It seems to be promised a lot but does not actually happen. Lack of recognition - we have Shinning Performance program, but it is extremely under used in some departments. I feel that when people go above and beyond that they should be given credit. Salaries aren't great and its difficult to get raises - if you come into the company at a low salary it is hard to get "bumped-up". I've heard that 10% is the cap, but I am not sure if that is true.
