Keer op keer nieuwe uitdagingen aangaan, dat is wat bij je moet passen als je bij MSD aan de slag wilt. Want continu verbeteren is een van onze drijfveren. Dat geldt zowel voor werkprocessen als voor medewerkers. Gedrevenheid, teamwork en eigen initiatief zijn van groot belang. Bij MSD kun je je op allerlei manieren ontwikkelen. In de diepte, door je te specialiseren in je vak. Maar ook door jezelf te verbreden en door te groeien naar een leidinggevende functie. Internationaal of juist heel lokaal, er zijn talloze andere mogelijkheden om stappen te zetten in je loopbaan, te rouleren in functies of te groeien in je functie. Werken bij MSD is werken in een dynamische high tech omgeving van internationale allure, die toch sterk lokaal geworteld is in Oss, Haarlem en Boxmeer.
