Pros
Merck traditionally has had both good pay and good benefits. Because things change so much, you can work on different projects and learn new things.
Cons
The atmosphere is very political which can make it very difficult to get promoted. There has also been historically, and even more so now, a lot of change. You probably won't be with one manager for long. The current state is one of flux with more lay-offs in the works. Much lower job stability than in the past. Overall Merck used to be a pretty good place to work, but the "Old Merck" is gone for good I think, much more business oriented and less interested in developing new products and in good science.
