Pros

Merck is a great place to launch your career as the company carries with it strong name recognition and a legacy. While engaged on a project, I encountered many opportunities to interact on a cross functional team that spanning numerous geographical locales.

Cons

Merck does nothing to reward it's emerging talent. Empty promises of career advancement, an avalanche of work and the perpetual feeling of doom as more jobs get outsourced make this an extremely difficult place to work. Overall, morale is in the toilet and management is unrelenting in cutting not only down to the bone, but into the bone.
