I applied online. I interviewed at First Merchants
Interview
They were quick to respond as far as correspondence. It started with a phone interview and then an in person interview at their office. After that, I very quickly got an offer over a phone call. The in-person interview was with three higher ups in the credit department. They were great interviewers and I felt very comfortable. They have a high amount of respect for each other and people that come in to interview with them.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at First Merchants (Monroe, MI) in Feb 2023
Interview
I applied in late January 2023. Received a phone call from HR the following week for a screen and then to confirm an interview with hiring managers. Interview was the following week and was virtual. Hiring managers were late about five minutes and some of the questions they asked were awkward and confusing to answer. I didn’t even want to answer one of the questions. Received a rejection email about a week later, saying they’ve selected a different candidate. I saw several people applied to the job through LinkedIn and was fine with the decision but then a few days later the same job in the same location was reposted. Right now I am looking for my first job after graduating college and have had about a dozen interviews with various entities and this was by far the worse interview and hiring process I took part in.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at First Merchants (Indianapolis, IN) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process was lengthy. The first interview was with the manager and a team lead, second interview brought in a couple of sales people. The questions weren't hard, but the pressure was on when more people joined the interview.
