Pros

Great to have on your resume.. for 5 - 10 years. Be prepared to live in Montreal and spend. 2-3 years ...try to move into marketing as soon as possible, e.g. product management.

Cons

Subliminal racism within the Management ranks of working at Merck Canada.- for 15 years they had NO black, coloured/maletto or East Indian reps in Regional Management Positions.

Pros

The company has a good benefits package. They also have good technical resources if your job includes research or any type of developmental function. A very professional and corporate atmosphere.

Cons

While very professional, you feel like a number rather than a person. As with most companies, they expect one individual to handle the workload of three. If you were originally with legacy Schering, your opportunities to stay with the company are limited.
