I applied online. I interviewed at Merck in Jan 2019
Interview
Interviewed with four people in at separate times in a conference room. Questions were prepared from HR and all different questions. I was sent a request to come back for a 2nd interview which I accepted, but was never contacted with the time. I had to reach back out to them, and then was told the hiring manager canceled the 2nd interview. Very unprofessional.
