Pros

Current pay and benefits are the only positives I can think of

Cons

I have now been here 18 years (this is 3 years after my original review), after having left a Supervisory position to come to Merck. Am still at the bottom (Support Associate), still with no degree. I have managed to get 1 all day Excel class (woo hoo, sic).

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.
