Pros

Great benefits. If a family member gets sick you need not worry. As part of Pharma, salaries are higher than other industries and Merck runs in the middle of the Pharma pack. Promotions based upon high quality work and being liked by your manager

Cons

Shift in priorities every three years. R&D talks about the value of thier "future" portfolio, but the future never arrives.

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.
