Interview
I was interviewed in Merck in Feb, 2026, First was interviewed by the hire manager, then HR was asked me several general questions, finally I had an on site interview, I am still waiting for the updated.
They were very nice. I liked the process and meeting the people in the team. They flew me to Rahway to give a 45 minute seminar followed by some panel-like interviews. However, I did not get the position and they never provided any feedback.
