I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Merck (Kenilworth, NJ) in Jul 2017
Interview
Lengthy, Tiring schedule for 1-1 or 1-2 sessions. Most of the staff was nice, but few tried to make me uncomfortable by asking non-relevant technical details. Job description and their actual requirements did not matched!
They were very nice. I liked the process and meeting the people in the team. They flew me to Rahway to give a 45 minute seminar followed by some panel-like interviews. However, I did not get the position and they never provided any feedback.

Recruiting process started with a resume screening by the recruiter, followed by an HR interview to discuss background and motivation. The next stage was a hiring manager interview focusing on research experience and project fit. The final stage was a full-day onsite interview that included a one-hour research seminar, technical discussions with team members, and several behavioral interviews with cross-functional stakeholders.
