I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Merck (Berkeley, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
It was over the phone and mostly asked behavioral questions. The person I spoke to was head of the project that I would be working on and she was very nice and easy to talk to. She spoke of the project and then asked me what my prior experiences were.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Merck (Estambul) in Jan 2015
Interview
The process was good on average. They invited me for the interview 3 days after my application. I took the interview, they told me that they were going to inform me about the result whatever it would be. However, they did not give me any information afterwards.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Merck (Pittsburgh, PA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied online in December of 2015 and got an email back in February of 2016 requesting a phone interview. Phone interview was more technical and less behavioral than expected. Notified a week later of receiving the position but still need formal details from HR.
