Pluspunten

As a Schering-Plough employee, you get to be a part of one of the key global leader in the pharma industry. Huge company with many possibilities (in theory) to evolve in other positions and challenges.

Minpunten

Unfortunately, you better be good in politics if you want to make progress in your career. Very good external communication but very bad internal one. Everything goes well inside the ivory tower but too many high executives orget to look outside the window...

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.
