Pros

Not a fan of Big Pharma prefer smaller more flexible organizations

Cons

Just a corporate machine that only cares about stockholders not employees. So not really a knock at Merck because that is typical of most big corporate machines. Chew you up and spit you out.

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.
