Pluspunten

Decent pay, good colleagues. At the working level, there can be some really good collaborations and people who take pride in their work.

Minpunten

Management no longer seems to know what they're doing and changes the game plan from year to year. Stress level can be very high and the layoffs and turnover do not help. Merck used to hold itself to a higher standard than the rest of the industry and was proud to pay at the 75th percentile on average and a few years ago shifted down to the 50th--a clear signal they're no longer holding that standard. They maintain during the year-end reviews they "pay for performance", so if they are now paying average instead of above average, what does that say?

Pluspunten

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Minpunten

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
