Pros

The company committed to the highest standards of research, development, talent nurturing and ethics. Operating in a global scale is a unique experience, if you are in the global role. Interesting place right now as digital transformation is going on and the whole industry is changing by it. You can be proud on the CEO and the company's mission and the way it is achieving it.

Cons

Everything important gets political. It is natural in such a complex environment, but you have to learn how to live in this environment. It usually takes couple of years and it implies you fall down couple of times. Count on long terms only. There is a huge drive for change, but you're riding on a dinosaur.

Pros

One of the biggest names in the pharma industry known for its strict adherence towards compliance and patient life improvement around the world. It is multicultural and some of the best professionals can be found in MSD

Cons

Growth is restricted if one is in support functions. Like an accountant can only move within the same department and not outside.
