“There is a strong sense of family spirit”
“There is a strong sense of family spirit. Merck Serono has a fun, dynamic and fast-paced atmosphere. With only 100 or so people based in our head office, we soon get to know one another very well and there is a strong sense of family spirit.
“Most people stay with the company a long while. The reason is the dynamic and flexible way in which we are offered development opportunities. Ingrained into the heart of each person is the reason why we work – and that is to help patients. This really shows when we work together; it’s motivating and gives us a clear sense of direction.”
