I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merck in Sept 2024
Interview
A panel with two scientists, combination of (mostly) behavioral and (some) technical questions. Wanted to know your background, how you work in a team, why merck and why this position and how it aligns with your goals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you came up with a new solution
The interview process was quick and easy, I got an email straight from the hiring manager and only had to give one interview, all the people were super nice and welcoming.
First they did a phone interview and then two panel interviews. They ask usual questions, nothing technical based. The panels consisted of 3 people each. Took a while to get back and let you know your results.
It was a very average difficulty process. It did not take as long as other companies in this space to get back to me, and I felt like I was supported throughout the process.
