Pluspunten

Lots of talented people and a good work environment. In my work group I have had the opportunity to advance and be well compensated for my work. I am well respected and have a good future ahead.

Minpunten

The pain from the layoffs are still being felt. Management at the Durham site did a very poor job in managing the layoffs. Too many people were left in the dark and the lack of transparency has given many employees no trust in the site, particularly VBF Operations.

Pluspunten

Great benefits like medical/dentist/vision, pension, stock option, 401k match. Co workers are excellent, pretty good on site symposiums, lot of diversity clubs/activities. Innovation is extremely welcomed. Diversity in research portfolio. AI/ML is heavily invested to make databases more efficient.

Minpunten

Micro managing, especially within the biologics department, potentially others. Promotions are limited, and pay bump is poor. Company invests too much in buying companies rather than keeping talent - lay offs let go of great talented people. Merck is afraid of investing into exploratory biology and doesn’t take risk - they even admit they would rather see other companies clinical data or R&D data rather than taking a risk. Although it’s slow going in building new software, current databases are slow and needs much improvement. Extremely poor work/life balance.
