a recruiter called me to inform me of the interview process. I had two remote interviews, the first being assessed by the hiring manager and the second by laboratory supervisors.
They contacted me for a phone interview after I submitted my application through Merck website. The interview was scheduled through email, and I chose the date. They asked only few questions.

Question 1
Introduce your self and the reason for application
they do not give you an interview unless you have someone in the company to recommend you. I do not like their application process at all cause they won't even give you a reason for declining you even when you had all their criteria.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Merck KGaA (London, England)
Interview
I had a brief initial phone call asking me briefly about my shift preferences, salary expectations, location and prior experience. After that I had to record some interview questions & answers and then after that stage was successful I had a 45 minute panel interview through Microsoft teams. We spoke through my CV then there was some competency based questions. Overall the process did take about 6 weeks and I did have to chase up contacts a couple of times but after the last interview I got a final decision within a week.
