Work for two years then get out - Associate Scientist Merck Employee Review

Benefits and pay raises are awful compared to the rest of the industry. Promotions seem to be few and far between, so get used to seeing colleagues at other companies leave you in the dust. There is no indication the company values its scientists considering how much "belt tightening" they've done . Constant reorganization and layoff leads to uncertainty and low morale. Generally a poor place to try to establish a career. The only value Merck really has to workers is their name on our resume when you search for a new job.
