      Pros

      They have lots of huge brands with great equity. Good salary. Fun environment. Lots of opportunities to learn and build your marketing skills post-MBA.

      Cons

      Some awkwardness after Schering/Merck merger. Smaller CPG from a product portfolio and headcount perspective - there are opportunities to rotate to different brands, but there isn't as much product diversity here as is offered at other CPGs in the greater NYC area. Not easily accessible by mass transit. The consumer division is a small division when compared with other divisions in broader Merck...and it is also new to Merck - so decision makers may not support this particular division as readily as they will others.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits; desire to treat employees fairly; hard working coworkers; good cafeteria; well documented procedures; able to get the tools so you can do your job;

      Cons

      micromanagement by senior leaders; a very passive aggressive culture; it is more important to be political than to do the right thing; middle and upper management will take short cuts and even have questionable activities.
