      Research Assistant Interview

      26 Apr 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Merck in Jan 2021

      Interview

      Very straightforward and to the point . The hiring manager was very transparent and ensured the candidate is aware of the roles responsibilities and expectations. However it was difficult to gauge what the interview was expecting out of the candidate . The manager himself mentioned that the job might get redundant over time and there won’t be anything new to learn and if that is something the candidate is willing to adjust .

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Will you be okay performing a redundant job
