I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merck in Feb 2025
Interview
I interviewed from December to February. The interview process was very long and generally took from between 2 to 3 weeks to determine if I made it to the next round or not.

Question 1
How would you explain a scientific concept to a non science person
Round 2 with hm was around 30min technical, and final panel interview was mostly behavioral questions. Great vibe but whole process took almost 3 month which is a little exhausting.
Received interview invitation shortly after I applied online. First round was HR phone screen, second round was HM, then panel interview with 2-3 people in one panel and 3-4 back to back interviews.

Question 1
Panel round they asked some technical questions like describe a certain operation, what are some types of certain material (membranes). They asked what are the top three attributes of an ideal company that I want to work at. They also asked about how I deal with conflicts with coworkers and supervisor.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Preliminary screening interview with the hiring manager, then ghosted completely. When I reached out 3-4 weeks later the response was pretty terse and I am technically still waiting to hear a decision either way.
