Pluspunten

Good salary and benefits. Many hard working people are there, but are overlooked. The work is as difficult as you want to make it. Management is open to people pushing the boundaries of their knowledge, assuming the employee has a good work ethic.

Minpunten

Reduced pensions have reduced long term allegience to the compay. Very difficult to get ahead. Union difficulties at WP site. There is a lot of finger pointing occurring right now. There are too many problem identifiers and not enough problem solvers.

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.
