I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Merck (New York, NY) in Sept 2016
Interview
Not too hard. The staff was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. The process took longer than expected, but I received an offer via email after a few months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you knew you were going to miss a deadline.
The interview process was quick and easy, I got an email straight from the hiring manager and only had to give one interview, all the people were super nice and welcoming.
First they did a phone interview and then two panel interviews. They ask usual questions, nothing technical based. The panels consisted of 3 people each. Took a while to get back and let you know your results.
It was a very average difficulty process. It did not take as long as other companies in this space to get back to me, and I felt like I was supported throughout the process.
