I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merck in Jan 2016
Interview
45 min phone interview with HR where they asked about my background, but also added in behavioral interviewing questions. A week later it was an all day interviewing session with 4 people, each an hour long. The entire process from applying to finding out if you are offered the job takes well over 2 months.
