A link will be sent that will ask you to do select which decision you more closely agree with. For example, 1) I always share my opinion even when its not in my best interest to do so vs There are both positive and negative things about change, but I prefer things to say the same. 2) I would rather do things that can only be done one way than do things that require creativity vs I do not really have any long-term career goals. You then have a slider to choose which you agree with more. No question you can really "prepare" for and most of them you don't agree with either. During the next session you'll be basically playing a memorization game. The next interview is a separate day. You're given a prompt and given 2 minutes to record your response. Theres about 8 questions. You'll have 1 chance to rerecord before submitting. Theres no time limit before you have to begin recording. The questions were slightly more elaborate than basic interview questions so know your experiences and make sure to answer all parts of the question. The way the questions are formatted they essentially want you to answer in the STAR format without saying it. The final interview is a panel interview with 3 people who work at Merck. You first give a 15 minute presentation on yourself where they want you to include these 5 behaviors: Learning, Sharing, Experimenting, Empowering, Networking. The later half of this panel interview was basically a second question based on each of these behaviors that will make you feel like you're repeating your presentation. Later in the day you will have a group interview with 3 other people. You're each given a product with pros and cons and you have to talk for about 45 minutes with one another to decide which you will present to the "CEO" for another 15 minutes. Later after that you will have a reflection call which is more laidback for about 30 minutes. There were maybe 2 interview questions asking about your resume and future. Other than that its a short back and forth with your questions. Overall, the people were really nice and interesting to talk to.

I went to a networking night and info session and met with several Merck employees. I applied online and about a week or so later was emailed about an online assessment. It was essentially a personality test and also examined analytical capabilities. It took a little over an hour and was split into sections. In one of the sections, I had to skip a question because I ran out of time. 4-5 days later I was contacted about setting up a phone screening. The phone screening took about 30 minutes. I am waiting to hear back about the next rounds of interviews, and should hear back within the next week and a half.
