Strong culture but concerns about leadership and strategy - Recensione dipendente - General Manager presso Merck KGaA

Thank you for your loyalty and dedication over more than 10 years, and for taking the time to share your feedback from our Feltham site. It is genuinely encouraging to hear that our culture, collaborative spirit, and work-life balance continue to resonate — these are values that sit at the heart of what makes our company a place where people choose to build long careers. We hear your concerns around pipeline, strategy, and leadership. These are topics we take seriously at the highest level. On the pipeline front, we are actively strengthening our position through recent high-calibre hires and developments in the Research and Development space, while also exploring broader avenues including collaborations, licensing, and potential M&A opportunities. With our new CEO, we are reshaping our strategic direction — thoughtfully and with a long-term perspective, while remaining responsive to shifting market dynamics and evolving patient and customer needs. Change of this nature takes time, but the intent and momentum are real. We encourage you to continue sharing your perspective through our annual Employee Engagement Survey — voices like yours, especially from those with deep institutional knowledge, are invaluable as we continue to bring this vibrant science and technology company, with over 350 years of history, into the future. Thank you for being part of this journey, and for your continued commitment.
