Vantaggi

Pension. Trying to make more competitive with other pharma companies with respect to culture. Most everyone who works here is very dedicated to ensuring our patients always get their medicines of the best quality. Our overall values as a company are usually always aligned amongst colleagues.

Svantaggi

Beauracracy. Senior management says working level should feel empowered to make decisions but middle management needs to know all and causes ineffective and lagging decisions. Too much focus on advancing certain groups of people such that the best candidate for the job often is not the one selected when weighed against meeting a particular metric. Friends who have left the company usually get a 20% pay bump. Unwritten expectations in a lot of departments is to work long hours (nights, early days, weekends, holidays, vacations).

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
