Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Gym benefits, work from home compensation, pension plan
because im a minority I don't feel included and I feel like a second option
more salary, don't make us fight for LTIs like we have to, stop being subjective in your compensation reviews
Compared to the marketing, we are below average
i feel that male peers of similar experience are paid more, while i am consistently given more work and greater responsibility
Review from HR Dept
Remove salary caps. Increase annual merit opportunity
Review from Sales Dept
Parity with peers who weren’t acquired from other companies
Review from Sales Dept
No promotions within your own department. Real life COLA.
Review from Engineering Dept
Higher rates in market. Raises go up minimally. Due to cost of living i have less money this yr than last even with raise and bonus
For everything we do at Merck, if we were paid individually for each role we have to assume we should be making upward to 80 to 90k each year. But we do not. If we make 60k in a year its because of the overtime put in.
Salary is not competitive to market, bonus structure is also lower. Insurance benefits are very expensive and coverage not what you’d expect from big pharma.
Review from Operations Dept
Company is known for below-average compensation in the industry.
