Pros

Merck is a great place to launch your career as the company carries with it strong name recognition and a legacy. While engaged on a project, I encountered many opportunities to interact on a cross functional team that spanning numerous geographical locales.

Cons

Merck does nothing to reward it's emerging talent. Empty promises of career advancement, an avalanche of work and the perpetual feeling of doom as more jobs get outsourced make this an extremely difficult place to work. Overall, morale is in the toilet and management is unrelenting in cutting not only down to the bone, but into the bone.

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.
