Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review of EMD Serono, the healthcare business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. We hear you on the challenges around competing priorities and lean team structures — we know these can make execution demanding and stressful, and this is feedback we take seriously. We would encourage you to bring these specific observations to our annual Employee Engagement Survey, where input from leaders like yourself directly informs how we evolve our ways of working. At the same time, we are genuinely pleased that the breadth of learning opportunities stands out as a strength. Creating an environment where curiosity is encouraged and exposure across the organization is accessible is something we are proud of and committed to sustaining. Thank you for your continued dedication — keep up the great work!

Thank you for the 5-star rating and for sharing your experience at EMD Serono — we truly appreciate it! It's wonderful to hear that our people and middle management stood out to you. The strength of our teams is something we take great pride in, and feedback like this is a great reminder of what makes our culture special. We hear you on the challenges of working across time zones — coordinating with colleagues in Germany can occasionally mean early morning calls, and we appreciate your flexibility and goodwill. Being part of a global organization headquartered in Darmstadt does come with that reality, but it also means access to a rich network of expertise, diverse perspectives, and a 350-year legacy of science and innovation. Thank you again for your kind words and your contribution to EMD Serono. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
