Internships and co-ops
Co-ops: our U.S. co-ops join us for four to six months.
Dates may vary depending on your academic institution or functional area of expertise.
I've had the opportunity to see many different departments and work with amazing people from all over the world with diverse viewpoints who are just totally invested in innovating every day.
Joining a company like this has been a great experience for me and I can't think of anywhere else to be right now. I'm glad I'm part of a company and a team that is working every day to make lives of people better, to impact and improve lives, so that has been a great experience for me.
Everybody treats me not like an intern, but like any other employee; and that makes a big different being an older intern coming from a different environment. My first impressions were, 'wow, these people are awesome, they're talking to me like I'm one of them.'
The Intern/Co-Op program at Merck is a wonderful opportunity to get involved in an organization that is doing IMPACTFUL work around the world. I have met some truly extraordinary people through my time and have benefitted both personally and professionally from the connections and the work experience.
