Pluspunten

Salary and benefits are comparable to other Pharma companies.

Minpunten

Senior management and HR, in particular, give lip service to employee engagement and development. Yes, they perform an annual employee survey. Followup on ACTUAL employee concerns is left to senior leaders who created the situation in the first place, and who have no clue on how to address real issues. Work/life balance is non-existent. Simple decisions, like moving employees with 20 yrs of experience, (and who perform jobs which require tight information security) into cubicle farms, might seem like a great idea if you're trying to squeeze budgets. Impact on employee morale and productivity, however, is underestimated.

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.
