Pluspunten

To be honest, I can't think of any right now! I'm sure there were many at one point in time but there is very little enthusiasm left in this work place.

Minpunten

Little or no professional development. Excellent performance does not equal equal excellent rewards. If you know how to play the political game (and kiss a lot of a@$#) you have the potential to go far! Right now they are making cost cuts left right and center, although i believe Fred and his gang still get to ride everywhere in their chauffer driven limousines. At least the company is still spending money where it counts!

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.
