Pros

They have lots of huge brands with great equity. Good salary. Fun environment. Lots of opportunities to learn and build your marketing skills post-MBA.

Cons

Some awkwardness after Schering/Merck merger. Smaller CPG from a product portfolio and headcount perspective - there are opportunities to rotate to different brands, but there isn't as much product diversity here as is offered at other CPGs in the greater NYC area. Not easily accessible by mass transit. The consumer division is a small division when compared with other divisions in broader Merck...and it is also new to Merck - so decision makers may not support this particular division as readily as they will others.

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.
