      Senior Engineer Interview

      12 Feb 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Durham, NC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (Durham, NC) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      3 back-to-back-to-back interview sessions: 2 people peer level, 2 people other managers, 1 hiring manager. Asked to answer strategy questions based on work history examples; wanted to see what you did and what you learned from the experience described. Encouraged questions to be asked at the end of each session (use this time to ask questions about company culture, clarifying the job role, how to be successful in the role).

      Question 1

      Name a time where you were leading a project that was not meeting expectation. What did you do to get the team back on track?
