Pros

Merck is very flexible for high performing employees. I enjoy working with and learning from high caliber people. My total compensation is very fair for my level of responsibility and contribution.

Cons

It is so big, that you can feel lost in the landscape. Because of the size, there are low performing individuals who seem to skate through undetected. There are also a number of people who have not worked anywhere else and they seem to struggle to adapt in ways that could re-vitalize the work place.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
