I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Merck (Rahway, NJ) in Apr 2025
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter & 2 hiring managers. Hiring managers could've sent a more concise feedback, instead of an automated rejection as I took my time out to interview. Recruiting process can be improved.

Question 1
Technical skills, LCMS related questions, no feedback given, could've chosen to reject in email instead of automated rejection. Felt too brutal.
Received interview invitation shortly after I applied online. First round was HR phone screen, second round was HM, then panel interview with 2-3 people in one panel and 3-4 back to back interviews.

Question 1
Panel round they asked some technical questions like describe a certain operation, what are some types of certain material (membranes). They asked what are the top three attributes of an ideal company that I want to work at. They also asked about how I deal with conflicts with coworkers and supervisor.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merck (Rahway, NJ) in Apr 2025
Interview
Initial phone screening with HR, hiring manager solo interview, then 3-4 hours of panel interview + a presentation. All interviews conducted on Teams. Zero feedback, just an automated rejection email. From application to rejection took 3 months, and the role is now being reposted via contracting companies instead. Complete waste of time.
