Company Description:

"We try never to forget that medicine is for the patient. It is not for the profits. The profits follow, and if we have remembered that, they have never failed to appear..."
- George W. Merck, December 1950

Merck & Co., Inc. is a global research-driven pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of human and animal health products, directly and through its joint ventures. Our mission is to provide superior products and services - innovations and solutions that satisfy customer needs and improve the quality of life - and to provide employees with meaningful work and advancement opportunities and investors with a superior rate of return.

Our Values

Our business is preserving and improving human life. All of our actions must be measured by our success in achieving this goal. We value above all our ability to serve everyone who can benefit from the appropriate use of our products and services, thereby providing lasting consumer satisfaction.

We are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We are responsible to our customers, to Merck employees and their families, to the environments we inhabit and to the societies we serve worldwide. In discharging our responsibilities, we do not take professional or ethical shortcuts. Our interactions with all segments of society reflect the high standards we profess.

We are dedicated to the highest level of scientific excellence and to improving human and animal health . We strive to identify the most critical needs of consumers and customers; we devote our resources to meeting those needs.

We expect profits, but only from work that satisfies customer needs and benefits humanity. Our ability to meet our responsibilities depends on maintaining a financial position that invites investment in leading-edge research and makes possible effective delivery of research results.

We recognize that the ability to excel - to competitively meet society's and customers' needs -- depends on the integrity, knowledge, imagination, skill, diversity and teamwork of employees, and we place great value on these qualities. Toward this end, we strive to create an environment of mutual respect, encouragement and teamwork-a working environment that rewards commitment and performances and is responsive to the needs of employees and their families.
