Sollicitatievragen bij Merck

Questionnaire sent to candidate profile to complete. Then received an email to set up an Initial Phone Screening Interview. Then was told that the hiring manager would reach out to schedule an interview if selected to move on to next round. Completed a Virtual Interview and was told that the next step would be reaching out to successful candidates for the job offer.

Hiring manager interview then formal one on one interview with team and non team members from the department. Took a couple of days to complete the whole process. Then the results came back in two weeks. Then HR called and confirmed the offer

I’ve been passed over three times for QA jobs yet I seem to get all other QA roles I’ve applied for, and have been offered highly competitive salaries with bonus options. At Merck, there is a video call interview with anywhere from 3-5 senior level personel. Some managers do not share video but require the candidate to do so. Candidate has 20-30mins to “impress” each interviewer. Despite best efforts, a wide breath of experience at top companies across multiple sectors, I’ve still not landed a permanent job at any of the PA or NJ locations. I am a former contractor and came with excellent recommendations from long-standing directors and upper managers within the company and still, they seem to be looking for a unicorn. Interviewers cost the company more hassle in the long run by going through upwards of 100 resumes and countless interviews in search of themselves in someone else, instead of seeing the value in what a candidate can offer. I suggest taking the ego and authoritativeness out of the process and focus on placing good people with compelling track records, and not what they can sum up in 20mins of themselves. You, management, are what’s wrong with the workplace. This is why so many people have chosen to not even return to the pre-covid style of working for employers, because of unrealistic standards (reminds me of Ivy League legacies and the MCAT for determining how good of a physician one would be).

1 round 45mins with intern supervisors. asked about the previous projects, collaborative experience, how to manage multiple projects etc. Also have time for me to ask them questions. The results came back in two weeks.

Very straightforward hiring process. Phone screening, a phone call with the hiring manager, a 5 panel interview via MS Teams. Total time from application to hire ~1 mo. Good experience overall. Very patient and prompt responses from HR recruitment agent.

Email request for Teams interview. 3-week wait from applying to interview. Gave feedback right then. It was harsh but real. I appreciate not wasting anyone's time! Lasted over an hour.

It was great, they are really professional. They told me about their working processes and how I should work there with a team. Gave me a whole picture of the work and asked me several behavioral questions. with some technical questions.

Tough but fair. Met with 3 people. The first seemed to be more interested in the type of worker I am. And gage my level of ethic. 2nd asked some technical questions and gave a description of the position. The third was all technical questions.

The interview consisted of them asking questions getting to know me and me answering those questions. I'm only;y writing this review so I can see if a company I applied for is a scam. It's called Brainnest

An initial screen call followed by a wait of about two weeks for the 3 person virtual panel interview. After completing the first panel interview, the next virtual panel interview is scheduled about 2 weeks later. It appears to be 2 panels interviews and 1 final interview
