Pros

- teammates - paygrade I think that’s it

Cons

- unfair conditions among the teams, one team has flexible HO, the other forced to go in - horrible people management, no one takes your feedback seriously - manager can talk bad things about you behind your back to your teammates, pretending to be very professional on the surface - upper management is probably well aware of things, but just chooses not to listen

Pros

MSD has great offices and offers excellent benefits. Most colleagues are wonderful to work with and there is a genuine effort being done to create a good office feeling.

Cons

Senior leadership has shifted mainly to the US, which often leaves a difficult working dynamic with EU culture and work regulations.

Pros

Canteen, barista, and free gym on site

Cons

Toxic work culture, not a very supportive environment, high stress and frustration levels, endless trainings that don't really mean anything. There seems to be a huge divide between the two different sides of the site. Almost impossible to get some things done efficiently due to red tape. There are better, more developed pharmaceutical companies to work for.
