Pros

There used to be pros

Cons

Over-worked employees, supervisors have turned to bullying and belittling tactics. Staff cut to the bone and workload is overwhelming. Favorites are promoted while the rest are treated like cattle. Moral is gone. Stress levels are unmanageable. Merck has become a hostile work environment - chasing away the best and keeping the yes men.

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.
