It was nice: behavioral questions + technical questions based on your research experience. 3 rounds: 1 brief HR interview + a phone interview with the hiring manager + an interview day with 5 x 45 min interviews
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Why Merck? Tell me about a time when you solved a technical/scientific problem
Phone screen: background, skill scoring.
Hiring manager interview: presentation showing your research, your career plan, etc
Overall good experience, everything step was arranged quickly, less than a week between interviews
The interviewing process was pretty straightforward, kind of long. First, was the recruiter screening and if you make it past that, then the panel interview with the team, managers, and director. Also, there was a technical assessment.
