Pros

Great flexibility, awesome people, opportunites for advancement if you get along with the right people.

Cons

Merck doesn't matter how hard you work you will always work as a contractor never become a Merck employee. Politics, deficient middle tier managers, favoritism makes difficult to advance no matter that you do good job, unclear career paths and goals.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
