The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Merck KGaA (Burlington, MA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Probably the worst hiring process I have gone through. Went in for an in person interview and waited at least 5 weeks to hear back. A phone interview was set up with the hiring manager’s colleagues. After 2 weeks, I heard nothing and had to email the recruiter just to hear that the spot had been filled...poorly organized. Honestly glad I didn’t get the job after that experience
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Merck KGaA (Corsier-sur-Vevey, Vaud) in Dec 2022
Interview
A very, very disappointing experience. I was contacted by the Talent Acquisition team for a first interview. It was rescheduled three times. When I finally got to have the call, it was literally a one-minute-long interview. Because no, I don't speak French (it was mandatory for the job). So, my question is, did they even check my CV? I hope that is not the usual way of proceeding because it is a waste of time for everyone.

Interview
There were 3 interviews with different people and they went great, I've very grateful for the result. The questions are divided to professional and technical skills and it took about 2 months to get the offer.
