Pros

Learning is everywhere. Plenty of gurus and legend. Science is strong and is open to publication. Colleagues interact quite often.

Cons

Growth opportunities vary depending on groups. Too many processes that slow down work productivity. Leaders may like people who talk more and do less but I guess it is not unique to Merck

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.
