The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merck (West Point, PA) in May 2009
Interview
The interview was very organized and informational with regard to the culture and position responsibilities. My advice to future candidates would be to come with an accurate representation for their perceived value to the company.
Overall, the people are very friendly and very helpful. The offices are organized (getting better daily) and the work culture is becoming more harmonized.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you experienced a time when you recognized a group member was not reaching his/her expectations in the project? If so, what steps did you take to raise this concern?
Round 2 with hm was around 30min technical, and final panel interview was mostly behavioral questions. Great vibe but whole process took almost 3 month which is a little exhausting.
Received interview invitation shortly after I applied online. First round was HR phone screen, second round was HM, then panel interview with 2-3 people in one panel and 3-4 back to back interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Panel round they asked some technical questions like describe a certain operation, what are some types of certain material (membranes). They asked what are the top three attributes of an ideal company that I want to work at. They also asked about how I deal with conflicts with coworkers and supervisor.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Preliminary screening interview with the hiring manager, then ghosted completely. When I reached out 3-4 weeks later the response was pretty terse and I am technically still waiting to hear a decision either way.
