Started off by getting email from hiring manager to discuss the role for 30 minute video call. Later, was asked to reserve a date for panel interview & prep a slide for discussion, for which he was happy to provide feedback. Later, got ghosted before the panel interview despite multiple emailing back & forth, send LORs, and whatnot.
Honestly speaking, worse at communication.

Question 1
He asked about 30 minute research based role, reserve a date for panel interview, but no response afterwards...such a sluggish place to work at. At least send some response 😂
Round 2 with hm was around 30min technical, and final panel interview was mostly behavioral questions. Great vibe but whole process took almost 3 month which is a little exhausting.
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.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Merck (San Francisco, CA) en mars 2026
Entretien
Preliminary screening interview with the hiring manager, then ghosted completely. When I reached out 3-4 weeks later the response was pretty terse and I am technically still waiting to hear a decision either way.
