Pros

Merck is a large company that has many diverse opportunities for employees. This allows employees to seek out varying opportunities to develop without changing companies.

Cons

Merck is large and this sometimes allows people to get lost in the shuffle. What used to be a great company for growth and development of people, has now shifted more focus on the business priorities impacting the "personal" touch that employees sometimes need.

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.
