Strong global exposure, but room for improvement in internal management - Especialista Recursos humanos Merck KGaA Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at our company in detail. We genuinely value all feedback — it helps us reflect on what we're doing well and where we can continue to grow. We're glad to hear that your time here was marked by meaningful global exposure, strong cross-functional collaboration, and supportive peer relationships. These are experiences we deeply value and actively strive to cultivate across our organization. We hear your concerns around career development, and want to acknowledge that this is an area we have been actively working on. The recent introduction of our myGrowth platform is a step in that direction, offering employees more visibility into their development journey, internal mobility opportunities, and clearer growth opportunities. We are committed to ensuring these frameworks are consistently applied, and also may need a bit of time to fully take hold in a large organization like ours. Regarding the handling of sensitive employee situations, we do have guidelines in place to ensure empathetic and respectful support — including dedicated policies such as caregiver leave and health-related accommodations. On a related note, we understand that market fluctuations and organizational changes can place additional strain on teams and temporarily affect work/life balance, particularly when roles are not immediately backfilled. Thank you again for your thoughtful and constructive review. We wish you all the best in your next chapter and are grateful for the contributions you made during your time with us.
