Pros

-INSPIRE Program allows employees to recognize one another for a job well done with both a memo and a company-sponsored award. Anyone can recognize anyone, with no limits on awards given, promoting a culture of appreciation. -Parental leave policy is extremely supportive of families -Employer values work/life balance, encourages self-care breaks, and is supportive of taking vacation time

Cons

-As with all large organizations, there are a number of systematic inefficiencies at every level. Additionally, it is often difficult to find the technical information you need due to frequent reorganizations. -If you don't set your own boundaries firmly, it is easy to become overworked, as management does not necessarily know all the projects you are on at once

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
