I applied online and after about 6 weeks I got an interview invite. Setting up the interview time was a bit of a hassle with the HR Service Center; they felt impersonal and weren't decisive about dates, needing to check with interviewers. It took a while to get the appointment locked in. On the day, I had trouble getting into the building as there was no reception. The first interview with the line manager focused heavily on my motivation for Merck and the role. Then, I had another interview with the HR manager, again asking about my motivation. Overall, I got a negative impression regarding how employees are treated and communicated with. The meeting spaces also seemed more like storage than collaborative offices. I wasn't invited to a second round.

I applied on the company website for this post and later, I saw the same post advertised by recruiter and I applied again. The recruiter contacted me for few extra details and put my application forward. My Merck website application was turned down, and the recruiter moved forward. I get an email for the phone interview for Friday, and I replied I could do on Monday, and it was set for Monday. On Monday the RH recruiter told me that the post was offered and she was not sure why my interview was still on. It was very disappointing and I wasted my time.
