Pluspunten

Merck still has some incredible people who are dedicated, intelligent and passionate about their work and the difference they make each day. While the quality of products and innovation is not what it once was at Merck, there continues to be a goal of creating novel compounds as opposed to me too products. While the benefits of most companies in the industry are pretty similar, I applaud Merck for not making significant changes in the benefit program in light of the difficult times that the company has experienced.

Minpunten

Senior Management promote in their image versus quality, this is likely the biggest disadvantage. Quality work is rarely recognized or appreciated if you are not on the favorite list.

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.
