Pluspunten

Excellent pay, pension, 401k with a 6% match. Top-drawer company to put on a resume. The work-life balance was wonderful, as well as paid time off and holidays. Wonderful, smart colleagues and large budgets to buy top-line equipment to stay on top of the latest science.

Minpunten

Constant restructuring and uncertain directives. Some favoritism and tolerance of slackers by the management. The company follows the latest science instead of creating it, so there's a more reactive rather than proactive vibe to the corporate culture.

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.
