Merck reviews

The working environment had become toxic after too many rounds of lay-offs, the scientists came to feel like the management didn't value them or the expertise. Because of managment, the environment was very cut-throat and competitive.

I worked there for 17 years and each year was different depending on the zeitgeist of management tools. We wasted a lot of time redefining research areas and re-positioning "teams". So many good, talented professionals left or were severed so that management could restructure and back-fill lab-positions. It is an elitist corporation.
