Pros

PTO, benefits, pays for school

Cons

Terrible management. Get ready to earn every cent of your pay check and then some. Older employees pawn off work, work is unbalanced and uneven. Merck prides itself on ergonomics but doesn't know the meaning of the word. Employees are not trained, company is all about MONEY cutting costs and not worrying about employees. VIRKON is terrible! Extremely hard to move in the comapny. Awful home to work ratio, you're always at work and overtime is mandatory.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
