Initial phone screen with recruiter went well. Was notified that I passed the first round and will be contacted by the hiring manager for an interview. The interview was scheduled a week later. It wa s a panel interview with 2 people - 1 was on camera and the other wasn’t. They asked basic questions and thought it went okay. The next steps would be an in person interview but I was ghosted by the recruiter and the hiring managers for 3 weeks. Finally, I received a generic email from Merck stating they were going with someone else.
