Merck Software Engineer interview experience

After that first conversation, though, it just stalled. I sent follow-up emails after not hearing back, but the communication completely stopped.

The part that made it hard to process was that there wasn’t any clear closure—no update or explanation, just silence after the first step. I never got back to a technical or onsite stage, and ultimately I didn’t receive an offer. What I remember most is how quickly the momentum disappeared, leaving me stuck wondering whether the process had simply gone dark.
