Merck & Co.

Manufacturing

May - August 2022 • Durham, NC

What I liked

Everyone very clearly valued and respected each other. We were encouraged to grow and challenge ourselves both at work and out of work. I learned a lot about the needs of managing a self-driven project that has many operating stakeholder parties; something I would be shocked to have in a university setting.

What I wish was different

My project had a very rough start. I welcomed and tackled the problem as a great learning opportunity. I do, however, think sometimes about how my project could have gone better if the initial input information had been examined ahead of my program.

Advice

In all things, there is an opportunity to learn and improve for your future self. At Merck, you will be challenged to tend to that change with projects that matter to patients of all backgrounds. To meet these challenges you will learn to be quick on your feet and how to tackle problems you haven't seen before.
