I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Merck (Kenilworth, NJ) in July 2015
Interview
The interview was a day long. We met and interviewed with three different senior employees. Interviews were behavioral with one technical question during each interview. We had lunch with four other employees and talked about the company. There was a tour of the site with another senior employee. They interviewed 15+ candidates for 3 positions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you prefer independent work or working in a group?
Phone screen: background, skill scoring.
Hiring manager interview: presentation showing your research, your career plan, etc
Overall good experience, everything step was arranged quickly, less than a week between interviews
The interviewing process was pretty straightforward, kind of long. First, was the recruiter screening and if you make it past that, then the panel interview with the team, managers, and director. Also, there was a technical assessment.
