The interview process was very intensive and the interviewer asked very technical questions. I did not have any pharma experience so I thought I was prepared but I was not able to go as in-depth on the drugs and development as I think they were looking for.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Merck
Interview
The interview process was fairly straightforward: I only had one 30 minute interview and I was asked about 5 questions. All of them were relating to why I'd want the job or were situational, I did not have any technical questions. The interviewer was friendly and very open to answering my questions at the end, which we had a lot of time left over for.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Merck in Dec 2020
Interview
I applied in October and interviewed in December. The interview process was quick and the interview involved a 30 minutes meeting with a panel of scientists in your department. Everyone was approachable.
