Any idea about working in the in-house consulting department of Merck and Novartis?

Is WLB and corporate culture better than MBB, big 4 and other consulting firms?

I work at Merck.. I’m not sure what in house consulting dept you are referring to? What field or industry are you interested in consulting?

We work with a large consulting firm and I feel like the consultants don’t likely have a good work life balance because we are pretty demanding. But as the consultant, you bill the hours and get paid for it.

Oh okay, this is other Merck /EMD Millipore

I worked in Merck before, and now for Novartis, not in consultation department, but about culture, I prefer Novartis where you have more work-life balance. I can call my team as friends in Novartis- you are welcome to join quarterly meeting irrespective which role you are, the door never close, while I worked in Merck, no one cares me, except my supervisor. There is one guy tried to do verbal abuse to me in Merck. But at the end, there is no problem with that bad new scientist.
