Pros

West Point will give you the most learning about the product side of the business. The people are kind and you truly will go a full summer learning a great deal.

Cons

I would say in operations, you have less tangible goals than technical operations interns. However, you will actually learn a lot more applicable material to the business than you will in tech ops, who get a very sugar coated version of the day-to-day of a Merck employee. The pay is slightly less competitive than other companies hiring engineers but you get a lot of benefits in the long term.

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.
