Pluspunten

Very well managed; excellent talent; a strong orientation to process excellence in all disciplines: science, manufacturing, sales and marketing and support services such as finance and IT. A strong commitment to developing people. Managers who are well trained in people management and leadership skills. Good pay and excellent benefits.

Minpunten

The management is very careful in making decisions and bureaucratic. There is not much regard for the value of time or money because the company has had so much success for over thirty years, it rarely feels the pinch. In the US, there are too many people on staff since the merger with Schering Plough, so you can get lost in the shuffle pretty easily.

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.
