Merck reviews

In preclinical drug discovery especially computational chemistry and structural biology: Extremely Male-dominated leadership and culture Favoritism and gatekeeping, especially by senior male staff Women’s contributions routinely overlooked or credited to others Unfair authorship practices; others presenting and claiming your work Promotions are rare and career progression is blocked by excessive internal levels Lack of transparency and support for career development Innovation is discouraged; risk-averse, traditional scientific mindset

Slow decision making processes. Too many job roles within individual functions within teams inhibits forward progress.
