      Postdoctoral Research Fellow Interview

      Feb 24, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (New York, NY) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      I applied online via Linkedin. They set up a Webex phone call interview (only phone call, not video phone call). I talked with 5 people. They are so nice and patient to me even though I did not speak English clearly. They told they will let me know their decision about whether I can be invited to onsite interview or not in the next couple weeks. But I do know I cannot get that opportunity due to my bad English and my bad performance today. Overall, highly recommend to apply to Merce and get interview from them. They are really nice!
