Avantages

- Above average compensation - Great Benefits - Real emphasis on work/life balance- flexible work environment - With the right sponsor, you can truly advance in your career - I am lucky to have a great sponsor who has really looked out for me and has afforded me awesome opportunities. 3 years into my career out of graduate school and i've presented to teams that report directly to the CEO. Of course, it's because am hard-working, very likeable, smart and I know the company culture, plus I am consistently rated top 10 or 20% in comparison to my peers. It is a nice culture which can be frustrating to some. To do well here you can't push the envelope too much and you have to be nice. - People are very nice and smart

Inconvénients

- Limited to the NJ or PA locations if you want true advancement in the U.S. - Very U.S. centric company though has a lot of global locations - Very very hierarchial - Performance Management - lengthy process that really doesn't emphasize true performance management - Bonus structure is a joke if you are below the senior director level - it doesn't allow for clear disctinction between the bottom 10% and top 10% employees - Forced distribution rating that is poorly managed - Passive Aggressive culture

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
