Straightforward, one-round for a non-science role. The interview was pleasant and the whole process wrapped up in about two weeks. Interview experience can vary greatly by organization, team and role.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Merck in Jun 2024
Interview
Interview went well. I answered all questions. I am very knowledgeable in the pharma industry. However, Merck appears to select candidates only on a DEI basis. Total looser approach to build a team.
