I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Merkle (Charlottesville, VA) in Dec 2015
Interview
The on-site interview process was overall a good one. The 2 interviews were friendly. First they started with General questions then got gradually more specific as the interview went on. Interview took about an hour long.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Merkle (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2019
Interview
The entire process took about two and a half weeks. Being a global company, expect it to take a little time. First was a phone interview with the HR department for general background and experience. Next was a phone interview with someone in the local office to gauge your experience based on the specific role and that particular location. The final step was being asked to come in person for a two hour interview with four different people. Two Manager level and two Director level employees in two one hour long sets. There was also an Excel exercise, one for each hour involved. Definitely intense but they made it low stress and fun.

Had 2 phone interviews. Pretty straightforward. The questions centered around previous experiences. They also ask you why you are interested in data analysis. Overall, thought I did well. Thanks a lot.
