Q&A With Merck Research Laboratories Employees

There are no hard questions, if you can’t answer them honestly, it probably isn’t the place for you

Not great, most people find it to be a dead end job after ~3 yrs, but you can use the reputation to move ahead at other organizations

Merck’s product are truly first in class and improve people’s lives

Very good, especially if you already own a home. Full moving expenses paid, plus realtor assistance and closing costs.

Enrolled in pension plan after 3 years

Communication

Most start at 15 days, but there is also an end of Dec. shutdown

Probably a couple weeks, but depends on where you are in the interview cycle

Very hard. There aren’t many levels and many people in a department for >20 years

Depends, can be 2-4 weeks or longer depending on position and timing

Yes to both
