Merck reviews

Lots of red tape, lots of politics, many of the directors from different departments recruit ex staffs from their previous employment and that resulted in favortism. This is like a kingdom. If you dun belong to that family, u will never be promoted. In my department there will always be people backstabbing you, looking over your shoulders to catch your mistakes and report that upwards. If you just want a 9-5 job and can be very neutral to such politics, have a very cant be bothered attitude over years, it's an ok employment to work for. I have worked with their Quality organisation before and I find them very political as well. Everytime they counter attack with an issue, they are always talking about standard operating procedures. No professionalism. Other than some technical skills which I have acquired, I felt i have wasted my life at schering plough.

District Managers have a hard time distinguishing the most effective management style for an experienced professional versus someone fresh out of school.
