J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Merck (West Point, PA) en sept. 2015
Entretien
The interview was for a contract position on an upcoming project. I met with 3 employees in charge of the project. It was 20 minutes long and very straightforward. They asked how my experience fits the position and what I can offer. They asked a couple technical questions in regards to aseptic techniques and what I have done in past experiences.
Initially I received a call from a recruiter about the position and how it is a similar fit to my current position. I was interested in the Scientist role at Merck and within a couple days I had an interview lined up. Under 24 hours after the interview, I received a call offering me the position.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
What aseptic techniques do you use under the biosafety hood?
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.

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.
