Merck Engineering Scientist Associate reviews

The company has been through huge convulsions with acquisitions and subsequent downsizing. This has led to site closings and a great deal of uncertainty for most employees which has continued for an extended period.

There is a lack in managerial organization and ease of advancement. There is a gaping disconnect between the goals and regulations mandated by upper management and the information given to employees in order to reach these goals. There is also a severe lack of employee morale, and management has not yet found a way to show employees appropriate appreciation, nor purge the department of its exasperated attitude. There is also clear evidence to show that, at least within this department, that advancement is nearly impossible. I have colleagues 10+ years my senior who are still doing the same job I am, or worse yet, used to have more clout and responsibility and now are back doing their entry level jobs.
