Pros

In terms of positives, working at Merck ANZ is a valuable addition to your CV, providing exposure to a global company. Under a supportive manager, you can expect significant skill development, with corresponding compensation.

Cons

However, there are notable challenges. The HR department doesn't consistently align with employees' best interests. Additionally, reports of bullying from the senior leadership team have an adverse impact on team morale.

Pros

Good Comp & Ben compared to other companies with relatively same size.

Cons

Toxic R&D environment, less than coordinated re-org/restructuring, reasoning does not resonate or make any sense. Medical Affairs and Clinical Development employees are second class citizens compared to commercial organization. The big R&D head is only concerned about his own self and his LT are worried about nothing but to maintain their SVPs entitlement
