Pros
Colleagues were some of the best people I've met in my career. Helpful, thoughtful, always looked out for one another. I've made friends for life in MSD.
Cons
MSD Brinny has a culture of rewarding bullies with promotions. I've comforted colleagues after they have had their characters assassinated by new management. New management and supervisors lack basic people skills. Have zero respect for staff, expect OT to be done weekly and if you have children that's your problem not MSD's. It was a great place to work for years but new management are toxic, unprofessional and don't appreciate staff at all. They speak to you as if you were a child in primary school. I have witnessed one new supervisor on multiple occasions talk down to a fellow new supervisor who was trying to find their feet and doing the best that they could This was done multiple times in front of the whole department, making us extremely uncomfortable, this same supervisor then told us analysts that we appear to not like each other and the way we speak to each other was unacceptable, when in actual fact we were like family and worked very well together. Up until 2021 I would've recommended MSD to anyone considering a role there. I loved it so much. Now I would recommend anyone and everyone to avoid it. MSD "promotes" positive mental wellbeing but is perfectly OK with having bullies as managers and supervisors. If you want to work in an environment where your mental health is priority, you are appreciated, respected and not overworked, then go elsewhere because MSD is not the place for you.
