Business outlook
Pros
many bright people who work very hard; resources available to do great things
Cons
Too insular, not enough industry perspective outside of "the Merck world" and too many people still clutching at the laurels of success from many years ago. Merck-lifers who do things the "Merck way" are put in charge of key initiatives while people hired in from other places are shut down if they advocate new ideas. Consequently, things don't really change. Way to much process (especially powerpoint presentations, huge team meetings/committees, etc) that just spin their wheels and waste people's time.
