Avantages

Work/life balance is great. No real schedule as long as you get your work done. Not a high pressure environment; in fact, you sometimes wonder if they'd notice if you didn't come in. Contractor pay is better than average, if you negotiate.

Inconvénients

They will tease you with the possibility of a full-time job during your interview but that never comes. The company is under a "hiring freeze," however certain departments are always allowed to bring on full timers. Lack of communication with company direction and future needs and opportunities.

Avantages

Great benefits like medical/dentist/vision, pension, stock option, 401k match. Co workers are excellent, pretty good on site symposiums, lot of diversity clubs/activities. Innovation is extremely welcomed. Diversity in research portfolio. AI/ML is heavily invested to make databases more efficient.

Inconvénients

Micro managing, especially within the biologics department, potentially others. Promotions are limited, and pay bump is poor. Company invests too much in buying companies rather than keeping talent - lay offs let go of great talented people. Merck is afraid of investing into exploratory biology and doesn’t take risk - they even admit they would rather see other companies clinical data or R&D data rather than taking a risk. Although it’s slow going in building new software, current databases are slow and needs much improvement. Extremely poor work/life balance.
