I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Merck in Nov 2021
Interview
The interview was on WebEx. I was asked to tell a little bit about myself and my academic/career goals. Then a panel of 6 senior scientists asked me technical questions about my research and work experience (interviewing for a scientific role). Everyone was very kind and there was good back-and-forth dialogue. I could tell each one of them had carefully read through my resume before the interview.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself/academic and career goals. Technical scientific questions relating to experience.
It's just the first round. Director didn't ask too many questions. It's more like a talk. Director introduced what the team was working on and what they expect an intern would do for them.

Very good experience, the format of it was a phone call interview with the scientific hiring manager. behavioral and scientific questions were asked. Pretty standard questions getting at if you understand science and if you’d be a good culture fit
