      Operations Manager Interview

      21 Sept 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merck in Sept 2020

      Interview

      It was a very brief and efficient process, it was done virtually with 3 team members asking a variety of questions in random order. Overall the experience was good, but the multi-member panel reminded me of interviewing for acceptance into a fraternal organization.

      Why are you interested in this dept? What are your strengths? What are your Weaknesses? Run us through your resume Give an example you faced a complex problem and how did you resolve it? How do you perform under pressure? How do you compensate for your lack of experience in pharmaceuticals?

      Operations Manager Interview

      20 Jan 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Newark, NJ
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (Newark, NJ) in Dec 2021

      Interview

      Interviewed for a contract position. A recruiting company reached out, sent in my application, and got back to me within 2 weeks. From there, had first round phone interview with a manager on the team a week later, then a second round MS Team call with an HR rep and my potential supervisor. Very standard interview questions about my interest in the role, my background, and how I would manage the functions of the role (communication, time management, working with difficult vendors, etc.). All good untill the end. They told me I would hear back in a week but a week passes and nothing. Sent a follow-up to the pair I videochatted with and silence. Eventually got an email from the recruiter weeks later that they went with another candidate. It was a contract position so I am not surprised...

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Where do you see yourself in 5 years? - What is something not on your resume that you would like us to know about you? - How would you manage conflicting stakeholder expectations?
