I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Merck (Warsaw, Masovia) in Feb 2014
Interview
The hiring process was weird. I had the interview with 2 persons both of them unwelcoming and they seemed to be looking for people, who lacked in ambitions so they would not be any competition in the company. Also, the salary offered was incredibly low, comparing to what the job market offered at the same positions. They also announced that they were looking for a person for only one or two years (temporary) as a fill-in for another employee who was supposed to be absent during that time. Hard to say, whether it was true or was it the company's way of saving money. Very possible looking at what they were offering.
The overall impression was not good for such a established company
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Is the salary very much lower than at my current position? (as they knew they were offering a really mediocre salary)
