Hi! Can I trouble a @merck employee for some clarifications on benefits? Main location in NJ

25 days of PTO
Are sick days separate ? If so, how many?
Please explain the stock options if you don’t mind.
Medical benefits?

Will an offer letter contain all this information for review? Some companies wait until you accept to share the details.

I can provide some of this info. The 25 days of PTO are separate from sick days, plus we get company holidays on top of the PTO, including the shutdown week between Christmas and New Year’s. Stock related comp will depend on level and role.

Thanks. Are you happy there

Sick days are basically unlimited. The rule is if u need to take more than 3 sick days in a row that u take STD starting the 4th day. 25 days of PTO is separate

Thank you as well! How about the hybrid/in office policy? Are you coming in a hard 3 days/week or is there additional flexibility? What is happening in practice? Currently interviewing and would love to understand the reality without asking outright in the process.

You can look it all up it’s public benefitsatmerck.com

Seems like benefits do compensate for the lower salaries

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Just started at A.T. Kearney. Which benefits should I be taking advantage of?

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
