Interesting hiring process. First interview consisted of several candidates and a single hiring manager. Typical interview questions were asked. After inital round of questioning some candidates were given an individual interview. Second interview was one on one. After Drug screen and background check certain behavioral questions were asked. Additionally a three hour "competancy" test was given. HR contacted candidates several days later with an offer. Dont try and negotiate for this position it will not work.

Interview
Had two interviews. First one was with Hr and direct manager for both behavioural and technical questions. Second one was with HR Manager and Divisional manager. Done with the second one and immediately signed the appointment letter
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Merck (Durham, NC)
Interview
The interview involved situation based questions mostly with a senior technician and manager. They were hiring a lot of BPTs at the time so the interview was not as in-dept. I applied online, got a email to complete a "personality" test, I was then asked to come onsite for a computer, skill, based test. This was then followed by an in-person interview. A phone interview took place following the in-person interview.
