Good company for research

Pros

If your position in the company is research, your job is more secure than most in the company.

Cons

I had worked for their IT department was laid off several due to downsizing. If the position is not part of the core business, your position can be eliminated sooner rather than later. It was quite difficult to move within their IT department.

Pros

Great educational opportunities, great benefits, good work/life balance policies. The opportunity to be part of developing new drugs that meet the public need is appealing. The people who work there are highly educated and most people are very competent at what they do. There are many opportunities for social networking through special interest groups.

Cons

difficult to advance careeer path without a powerful manager to advocate for you, bonus structure highly subjective, low pay scale,

Pros

Merck is family friendly company that supports work-life balance efforts. The work environment is fairly nice as well. As with any company, the your teammates account for a large portion of your job satisfaction. Fortunately for me, majority of my teammates were very pleasant to work with.

Cons

My biggest complain about the company was its rather incompetent and out-of-touch middle management. They engage in favoritism often and are rarely fare in giving appropriate credit. One can classify me as a "disgruntled employee" and I wouldn't argue.
