I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (Newark, NJ) in Oct 2017
Interview
Talked to them at the career fair, and got an interview a few weeks after. Typical behavioral interview -- have all of your stories ready, you need about 6 good ones. At the end, they throw in a technical question. As long as you're creative with your response and show innovation, you'll get the offer.
Interview questions [2]
