Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you taught yourself something
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merck (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview was simple with mostly behavioral questions. The panel of five people made me feel less nervous immediately as they were friendly and welcoming. It felt like they cared to learn more about me as a person instead of treating me like an applicant.
I applied online. I interviewed at Merck (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
It was short and concise. It was just 30 minutes long the entire talk, while my work was described in about 10 minutes. The interviewer was very friendly. Because of covid, It was online so it was hard to say if it went good or bad
