Pros

Very relaxed work environment Excellent work life balance

Cons

Going through serious transition and uncertainty level is high If you are working in India or ny other country except Germany, you will have vey little scope for taking decision on most topics. Most of the decisions including he small ones are taken in Germany Slaes people at any level really work as traders since most of the stuff is manufactured in Germany/ USA and imported by the countries where the merck offices exist Designations such as Geneeral Manager, associate director or director in Merck India is very deceptive since if you are in sales you are just a sals man and if you are in markting you are jut a marketer,,,,,,,,,,,,You may at the most have mor people under you People in the marketing divisions have very little respect
