Pluspunten

Merck provides great career development and opportunities for advancement. The company is large (with 7k+ emloyees) so this is a great place for young professionals to start their careers in the pharmaceutical field. Many opportunities to take work-related leadership classes as well as graduate work are available depending on department and pay grade. Employees are highly motivated and talented, making a great environment to be innovative and productive in a competitive industry.

Minpunten

Lack of communication among different groups can sometimes lead to operation inefficiencies. Working long hours at certain positions and responsibilities can be under appreciated at times by management and peers.

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.
