I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (Rahway, NJ) in Aug 2010
Interview
5 to 6 managers one at a time for about 45mins each with a lunch interview in between with an additional 4 people. The managers were friendly and laid back. Very informal and easy going but getting what they wanted out of the interview. I interviewed for several open positions not knowing which manager was for what group or what I was interviewing for.
