Fairly heavy on engineering with an emphasis on inclusivity and problem solving. I had some situational questions that involved math and logic. Overall they just wanted to see if I was a good fit for the team.

Question 1
What was your biggest mistake and how did you correct it?
It was a fairly standard process: networking prior to application submission, application submission (resume and cover letter), first-round remote interview (mainly behavioral questions), final round assessment-day on-campus (both behavioral and technical questions).

Question 1
Brand declining monthly sales - how would you investigate?
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Merck
Entretien
The interview process lasted over 2-3 months and went by quite quickly. Below was the interview process I experienced.
1. Initial phone screening with HR
2. phone interview with hiring manager
3. panel interview with hiring manager and other team members
First, there was a 30-min call with the recruiter. This was a really basic interview with all the expected questions you probably don't have to prepare much for - Are you employed, and if so, why are you looking to leave your job? What attracted you to the role? Do you live in the area? What do you know about the subject matter / how many years of experience do you have in the subject matter? Would you be available to work in such and such month? That kind of thing.
Next, there were two 1-hour panel interviews. At least of one these will have the Hiring Manager and 1 or 2 other people on the team. The other panel was just 1 person for me - another scientist I think I'd work with but maybe not be in direct contact with daily.

Question 1
Many questions were specific to the role, several requesting the STAR format. You should definitely be prepared to "introduce yourself" and have your strengths/weaknesses ready to share.
