Company changed mindset more towards employee well-being. Great variety of benefits Possibility to work from abroad for 4 weeks a year Company encourages employees to upskill themselves via internal and external trainings.

Some people are way too quickly promoted and some other are not as they can be seen as "required or needed" to stay where they are. Company plans to introduce some progressive career advancement process. However, that feels like what was introduced couple of years back and not even implemented by department unanimously. There is a clear management style difference between local and USA based managers.

Working environment is very decent, people are friendly and helpful, while management for the most times try to help you and to develop your skills

compensation can be more decent regarding to the amount of work and load of responsibilities you have. Specialists must be compensated more fairly since the load of work falls on them most of the times

One of things that I am most satisfied with working at MSD, is the fact that everyone is encouraged to speak up, you feel included with the "Diversity and inclusion" values, and you get a sense of belongingness

The company creates a good atmosphere in the workplace, where you can trust your coworkers and people from another teams. Any improvement ideas are welcomed without judgement. The company values the people working there and do not treat them as easily replaceable assets. The company focuses on people's development and provide wide variety of opportunities. Internal mobility from a team to team is great, the people often move within the company.

Since the teams are spread around the globe working with colleagues from different time zones is challenging as late afternoon/ early evening meetings are not an exception. Sometimes the number of online meetings is overwhelming leaving little space to do deep and focused work. It requires a lot of self time-management.

Complex tasks

There is a lot of space to solve complex task. The company is constantly searching to automate the simple tasks to free up capacity of the employees to focus on the complex ones.

MSD is a great employer because they offer a lot of benefits and opportunities. - You have the opportunity to use a free Udemy license to educate yourself on what you are interested in - you can improve your language skills as the company is international - most of the employees are very nice and friendly, you enjoy coming to work The company offers a lot of benefits e.g: - cheap Multisport card - rich Edenred Benefits - Inspire points for extraordinary activity, which can be used to purchase various items e.g. electronics - You can join many clubs and groups, play ping pong or pool - unlimited work from home - occasional refreshments at the workplace - iPhone with enough data - lots of interesting meetings not related to the specific position and many other benefits... I am happy to be part of MSD!

- it's a bit annoying when we have shared seats, you want to sit somewhere with your team, but a seat is already occupied, plus you always have to set up monitors which is a bit of a pain - it all depends on the team you are in, it is possible that you may want to use your 5 volunteer days for some activity but the leader won't like it because you have a lot of work in your team that no one will do for you, then you just let your volunteer days go

Flexible working hours

Core hours are 10:00-15:00, the rest is up to you. Of course, it depends from position to position, somewhere you need to do some activities that have a deadline earlier or later. For some positions it is even possible to work only 4 days a week.

Jobs fit for working parents

MSD offers work from home, which may be more convenient for some people because of their children. Flexible hours with core hours from 10-15 (depending on the position) can also be an advantage for parents. MSD also organises various courses for children (e.g. IT course) or e.g. children's camps and other events for children at MSD, throughout the year e.g. St. Nicholas Day. MSD also offers extra days off for fathers who have a new baby.

mature and very nice culture, international environment, rich benefits (iphone for each employee and paid monthly tarif, benefity points, pension contribution, yearly bonus, internal reward program, etc.), true interest in people and their development, strong leadership team

It is not negative, but it is a multinational company with structure and some rules in place, which might not be best fit for everyone
