Pros

Technologies are welcomed rather than a threat. Great benefits Confidence Publication is highly encouraged Academic collaborations Cutting edge research A lot of seminars

Cons

Somewhat competitive Arrogance Generation gap Can be a bit conservative, not taking a risk Slow progress due to politics Lots of meetings hence scientific inertia Hierarchy and too many layers No free coffee for employees (!)

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.
