I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Merck in Oct 2020
Interview
Applied through university and had one general interview within one 1 week. About 1 month later, got a second round interview for the specific position with the hiring manager. Questions between both interviews were similar and both behavior interviews.
The interview began with the manager asking me to introduce myself. After my self-introduction, they asked follow-up questions about my experiences and background. Then, the manager explained the role and described what I would be doing if selected.
