Pros

The people are great and easy to get along with. They are all very helpful. The culture at Merck is great. Employees are dedicated to their work but are also involved in other things outside of work.

Cons

Just my personal experience from an intern perspective, my project was not the most interesting. If I had a little more direction as what was expected of me the internship may have been better.

Excellent opportunities for growth. Merck has great processes and you can learn much.

Cons

Change takes a bit longer in a big company so be ready to wait for approvals and for things to change.
