Pros

Stable career and you do move up and get recognized if you do a good job. You can make a whole career in multiple departments at Merck.

Cons

Can be political if you want to move up fast... sometimes it's who you're friends with more so than your output, but that's normal for corporate America. Lots of red tape for decisions.
