      Technical Writer Interview

      Jan 4, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pleasanton, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (Pleasanton, CA) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      I interviewed for a permanent job as a technical writer in new Sequencing Division in Pleasanton. It was a marathon interview with 6 or 7 interviewers. The first one was very negative, she was unprepared, saw my resume for the first time then. She arrived late to work and interviewed me still holding her bike helmet! The others were very positive including the manager who had given me positive encouraging feedback from a previous phone screen and who interviewed me remotely from Connecticut as he had yet to relocate to California.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How I would approach new manuals and clinical documentation.
