I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Merck (New Brunswick, NJ) in Feb 2025
Interview
Unusually non-technical for the role. Consisted of a phone screen with recruiter, call with HM, and and Onsite round I did make it to. The process was slow however, I did have to wait several weeks, and reach out and ask about the status of my candidacy before I was invited to the 2nd round. Questions were typical, asking about resume, explaining projects. Was not asked any technical ML or DS questions for the role. Which I was surprised, given the title.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This is out of context, but one question I wrote down was, "What would you tell a CIO to ask a vendor when evaluating an off-the-shelf AI product?"
