I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merck (Boston, MA) in Oct 2022
Interview
Interview consisted of an HR phone screen followed by 1:1 with hiring manager. Then invited for a full day of individual and panel interviews as well as a 1 hr seminar with Q&A. References were requested and contacted and then I was ghosted and inquiries to both the hiring manager and HR rep went unanswered. Quite unprofessional given the length of engagement and commitment to the process on my part.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you feel your current role will allow you to be successful in this one.
Interview process could be very long, depending on the urgency of hire. Normally 3 rounds of interview. People are nice and quite lay back. Company Culture is changing recently though.
I had 30-minute meetings with about 15 interviewers over 3 days. The overall process was pretty seamless and the HR team was communicative. They sent me meeting invites with different MS meeting link for each of the 30-minute session
