I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merck (Point, PA) in Aug 2018
Interview
It was conducted by the hiring manager and several of the hiring manager's direct reports and also people in the organization. They were professional, organized and really took time to ensure that the position was well suited to me and my development as well as being a good overall fit on the team.

I applied online. I interviewed at Merck (Rahway, NJ) in Feb 2026
Interview
the interview consisted of three rounds of interviews, last interview was a panel interview that consisted of the whole day. Spoke with many different members of the team but similar questions were repeated through out the day.
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.
