Testimonials

We believe that our success is driven by the strength of our workforce, and we are committed to creating an environment where our people can thrive, collaborate and innovate.

My group is working on next-gen sequencing (NGS), which is a game changer. We’re the first at Merck to try this in a regulated clinical testing space, and it’s challenging, but the potential is huge. It has the potential to generate a rich data set to help improve vaccine development.  It’s all about using the latest tech to make a real difference.

I was inspired to join Merck as a full-time employee after experiencing its incredible culture during my time as a contractor. The dedication of long-term employees and the impactful research—particularly in vaccines and biologics—made it clear this was where I wanted to build my career. Leadership fosters teamwork, encourages questions and supports work-life balance, creating an environment where everyone is genuinely happy and thriving.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned at Merck is not to be afraid to speak up and challenge existing ideas. It's empowering to voice your opinions without fear of judgment, knowing that even if you're wrong, your perspective is valued. This culture of encouragement makes it clear that great ideas can come from anywhere.

One of my proudest achievements this year was organizing a 5K charity run through the Veterans Leadership Network. It was amazing to combine my personal passion for supporting military and first responders with the opportunities Merck provides to make a difference. The event was a success, and I’m excited it will become an annual tradition. Experiences like these highlight the incredible support and opportunities Merck offers to employees to grow and give back.

I work closely with one of the directors in the molecular group, and he truly cares about my professional growth and work-life balance. He regularly checks in, both formally and informally, to ensure I'm feeling confident and supported. This focus on employee well-being, not just metrics, is something I deeply appreciate and contributes to the positive culture at Merck.
