Pros

I worked in Sales Enablement and Commercial Excellence Team * Good exposure to strategic projects like price harmonization, discount and dealer segmentation, competitor mapping, lead time enhancement, * The organization rewards good work with awards, bonuses and increments * leadership is very approachable * business travel * Good mix of operational and strategic work * cross functional collaboration * Merck knows very well how to promote initiative taking in the organization, the mood upliftment and mission mood for the employees * Market alignment /correction of ctc * Good work life balance

Cons

* Promotions are a struggle. Promoting a flat organization for SMEs results into limited growth paths for the SMEs. The only alternative is switching to another role in the vast org * Team restructuring initiatives can result into disappointing changes for employees looking for career growth
