      Good Job, but no Career Advancement - Avis employé Associate Scientist Merck

      Approbation du PDG
      Perspective commerciale

      Avantages

      good pay, very competent management and important projects to work on

      Inconvénients

      living in NJ is hard on a medium-low salary, especially if you want to get married and buy a house and still expect to pay off student loans and not accumulate more debt. Plus, and this is true for the physical sciences in general, there is very little opportunity for career advancement with only an MS. No matter how competent you are or hard you work you will never lead your own project or be promoted off the bench - at least not at a large corporation.

      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.
