Pros

Very relaxed work environment Excellent work life balance

Cons

Going through serious transition and uncertainty level is high If you are working in India or ny other country except Germany, you will have vey little scope for taking decision on most topics. Most of the decisions including he small ones are taken in Germany Slaes people at any level really work as traders since most of the stuff is manufactured in Germany/ USA and imported by the countries where the merck offices exist Designations such as Geneeral Manager, associate director or director in Merck India is very deceptive since if you are in sales you are just a sals man and if you are in markting you are jut a marketer,,,,,,,,,,,,You may at the most have mor people under you People in the marketing divisions have very little respect

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.

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.
