Pluspunten

They provide a bi-weekly paycheck. But unfortunately, when I was receiving that paycheck, I didn't realize their unethical business practices.

Minpunten

Creates and profits from vaccines developed from aborted human fetuses (ah...babies). Merck intentionally removed "ethical" MMR vaccines from the marketplace and now only supply one type of childhood vaccine that is created from the WI-38 cell line...because it was more cost effective. Since they have a monopoly on the market, and in the US we are required to get these vaccinations, they removed the customer's "choice" to decide what is ethical and what is not.

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.
