Merck Research Scientist interview experience

I delivered a 45-minute seminar and then went into panel-like interviews right after, where they asked about my research and how I was approaching the work.

The people I met were friendly, and I liked getting to know the team and seeing how they worked. The scheduling and flow felt organized, and I walked away feeling like the interactions were respectful and professional.

Still, I didn’t get the position, and I never received feedback afterward. Leaving without any guidance was the part that lingered for me, because the process felt warm while the decision didn’t come with any clarity.
