Vantaggi

-Science culture is very strong (I work in R&D) -Very smart people and generally good management (at least in my dept) that allows you the freedom to operate and design your own experiments. -Great benefits and salary is pretty good too -Relatively high departmental budgets that let you buy new "toys" when you need them.

Svantaggi

-It's a HUGE company and that slows it down (red-tape, management decision making is slow) -Although good science is done, there is a serious fear of change,especially since merger -Merck as a company does not handle layoffs very well: very little transparency -Bonuses are given at random with no meritocracy -Practically no social culture (the company even admits that in its internal scorecard)

Vantaggi

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Svantaggi

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
