I applied online. I interviewed at Merck (Singapore)
Interview
One round of interview with a panel of interviewers which included HR personnel. Involved a presentation whereby the topic was only made known on the day of the interview. Adequate time was given to prepare for the presentation and it tested on problem solving techniques. Following that was normal interview questions.

Question 1
Do you see yourself as a risk taker or a conservative person and why?
Interview process was pretty general. Asked questions about prior work experience and how it can apply to the job. Be prepared to speak to your accomplishments, what lessons your learned, and how you can apply it to the position.
There interview consisted on one recruiter phone call and two interviews, one being with two people. It was pretty straight forward with the basic interview questions! Study those questions and you should be fine in the interview.
I had an initial interview with an HR recruiter, who did not speak English well, which made communication challenging. During this interview, I primarily explained my resume and answered a few behavioral questions. I was then advanced to a second round of on-site interviews. However, just three hours before the scheduled interview, I received a call informing me that it was canceled because the hiring manager decided to pursue a different position. This decision was not due to any issues with my resume or skills. This experience was highly unprofessional, especially considering I live several hours away from the site. It was very disrespectful of my time and effort.
