BENEFITS

To us a good job is not just about money. In addition to competitive compensation and bonuses acknowledging outstanding work, we also offer a wide range of benefits to everyone working at our company.

OUR EMPLOYEES MAKE US WHO WE ARE


At Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, our employees make us who we are.

Above all, we care about the health and well-being of our employees and their loved ones.

When you choose an employer, we know you will consider your full Total Rewards picture—not just how much money you’ll make or what your job responsibilities will be.

Whether it’s growing your family, caring for loved ones, building your future, or handling a major life change, we’re here to help you live your best life.

Your journey is unique, and we pride ourselves on offering the most generous, highest quality benefit programs among our peers to support that journey. Our benefits offering encompasses four pillars of holistic well-being to include: health and wellness; saving and financial; voluntary benefits; and work/life support. As curious minds, we care, pioneer, and outperform to advance human progress for our customers and patients. See below how our benefits can do the same for you.
