Pluspunten

Hardly anyone in the company actually does anything, so being one of the few people who does something, rather than just managing people who do stuff, makes you exceptional.

Minpunten

Everything is harder and takes longer than it needs to. For IT people, expect a minimum of 10 weeks to get a database or any other infrastructure. If you are a good developer, expect to be overwhelmed with work because there are so few of us around.

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.
