Pros

Cab to and fro Salary and appraisals Scope of Learning and Development MNC work location , VBIT park Refreshments , Encouragement perks

Cons

Management and Mid level Management are the cunning fellows All the mid level and upper Management men are womanizers Worst quality Management team as well For everything you will need to seek permission on floor when it comes to level 1 , but no permissions needed if you are from Level 2 or above , All the people who are in Level 2 and above positions are the ones who have been with company from beginning and they are the best lickers ever and so they are in that position , Hope you understand guys ! last but the best point to be mentioned , HR team sucks in this firm, They are the game changers and they are the most cunning people of earth I could say, May be their Family is responsible for that as they are born and bought up that way.

Pros

Great benefits like medical/dentist/vision, pension, stock option, 401k match. Co workers are excellent, pretty good on site symposiums, lot of diversity clubs/activities. Innovation is extremely welcomed. Diversity in research portfolio. AI/ML is heavily invested to make databases more efficient.

Cons

Micro managing, especially within the biologics department, potentially others. Promotions are limited, and pay bump is poor. Company invests too much in buying companies rather than keeping talent - lay offs let go of great talented people. Merck is afraid of investing into exploratory biology and doesn’t take risk - they even admit they would rather see other companies clinical data or R&D data rather than taking a risk. Although it’s slow going in building new software, current databases are slow and needs much improvement. Extremely poor work/life balance.
