Pluspunten

The compensation is very good and so are the benefits. One of the only companies that still has a fully funded pension plan. There are a lot of smart, caring people working at Merck . In the past, there have been good opportunites for advancement and opportunities to learn many different job functions.

Minpunten

The company has changed very much in the past few years. People do not feel valued and morale is at an all time low. Changes are occuring too often and the changes don't always make sense to the "worker bees". Senior leadership continues to be extremely well compensated (in the millions of dollars) and the regular employees are being asked to cut what is already a bare bones operation.

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.
