Boring!

Pros

Great office, coworkers and working conditions.

Cons

The engineering is non existed. 99.9% of the systems are OEM system from Germany and Switzerland and will only be responsible for 'supporting' the systems which basically means you stand there signing documents while the OEM engineers do the work.

Pros

To ensure successful business transition to digital, MSD is fully adopting digital, emails and ways to directly market our bands with minimal need for traditional representative roles. Although our brands are delivering US$600m+ revenue and double digit growth in Australia, MSD routinely uses job cuts to prop up growth. This happens every year in Oct/Nov. Full time roles already being replaced by external contract employees from Hahn health.

Cons

Still too many representatives in primary care and specialty care, more reductions inevitable. We are shifting the way we interact with customers. Current rep vehicles are x-trail, Camry or Tucson, likely realignment of vehicle choice to suit much-reduced resourcing in 2020. More to come!
