Pros

Merck is a fantastic company. They truly value diversity and inclusion. I am an industry transplant and they value my experience outside pharma. Additionally, the benefits are phenomenal. By far the best company I have worked for in my entire career.

Cons

Large company and if you are not aggressive in looking for your next role you can get stuck in the same job for years. Some people actually see this as a positive, but if you want to move you will be responsible for it.
