Pros

Pay and benefits are very high, but be careful of what you ask for. Not a real values oriented company. Only results for today matter

Cons

If you're a senior director, watch out for deliberate strategy to test and weed out 'under performers'. The leadership totally misses the saving lives value proposition.

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.
