I can tell that this company cares about providing products to people in need and supports a strong message in helping people."

"My experience was amazing with this company."

"I worked with Schering Plough for 9 years before the M&A with Merck in 2009. They are both excellent companies. Their culture, work ethics and uncompromising focus on quality are some of the qualities that endeared me to the company. The company provided employees an opportunity to learn, grow and contribute to the growth of the company. With a first class R&D facility and numerous manufacturing plants, the company had an employee strength of over 10,000 in over 60 countries around the globe."

"Not worth the effort, the management is more interested in its clicks and listening to itself talk. You are treated as if you are just a cog in a machine. Benefits are being stripped, policies are overly bureaucratic and inhumane. Company has no pipeline and is going down hill fast.The only way they see to keep revenue going is to lay off and outsource to china and India. Stay away from this company, is not worth the stress and burden it places on your mental and physical health!"

"Merck is a customer driven company that has the best interest of consumers globally. The atmosphere is one that inspires creativity, inclusion and open communication. I would like to recommend this company to anyone who is driven to achieve sustainable results and is not afraid to challenge their expectations. I enjoy the company's diverse cultural population and ample opportunities for women."
