Merck GPAM and TOXIC Culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

This review is specific to GPAM. - Mostly everyone is mediocre, so if you are good you will look great here. - If you get hired as a Dir, you can pretty much just coast after the first 3 yrs - Great place to learn how to be a PM when all the organizational tools are subpar. , , kind of like the PM version of Survivor.

Cons

- Toxic leadership. - Promotions are primarily based on popularity. - Not a self-reflective/learning organization. - Has a culture where only a small group can have "good ideas". Ideas from outside this group are mostly disregarded.

Pros

They have so many great benefits, like the INSPIRE rewards program, 401k matching, and education benefits. You can use the education benefits to return to school yourself, or put towards your child's schooling.

Cons

It's a large company, so it can sometimes be difficult to track down in-house expertise or resources. Often there are people who have expertise you want to learn from, but it can be hard to know where to look. Probably similar to any large Biopharma company.
