Pros

Work has direct positive impact on our patients. Management flexibility and direction has been great in the past few years. Far better than in the late 90's/early 2000's.

Cons

Merck acronyms like other companies are notoriously difficult to get straight. They make more 'new' acronyms and organizations without defining. Not a major con, but definitely irritating on the everyday job.
