Pros

Innovative research done by excellent scientists.Good Hard working individuals willing to go the extra mile. Good benefits offered by company, child care available, cafeterias and company stores on sites.

Cons

Upper management seemed confused. They would make plans, then change them. Tried to save money in the labs but spent money on unnecessary things. No job security, people always nervous about when the axe would fall on them. Culture itself sounded better than it actually was for individuals.

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.
