Pros

Benefits are above average compare with other pharma companies in the same category. Pipeline and lincencing seem to have taen a turn for the better but if new products/compounds fail to be approved Merck will be back at point before the merger.

Cons

Please think hard about looking here. There are other pharma companies out there,the culture assimilation after the merger will take time. This can lead to max exodus once the economy turns. The majority of people recent the merger and would likely leave if times where different.

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.
