      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merck (Philadelphia, PA) in May 2009

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of (4) 1-hour interviews with individuals that support the area that the position was for. Each interview focused on past experience and each interviewer went into great detail about my resume. I received several technical questions focused on gaining more information about the depth of my knowledge regarding what was on my resume. My scientific knowledge and understanding of pharmaceutical analytical development was tested by technical questions in regards to analytical techinques and basics of proteins and vaccines.
