Completed a panel interview for a Senior Specialist position at Merck. I was requested to complete their candidate questionnaire (non-compete/salary) before even interviewing. Is this standard for Merck, or is it just a formality that they need to go through? Hoping I hear soon as I was one of their last interviews.

If you received the candidate questionnaire to complete in workday - It means an offer is coming. They are interested in you and need this step completed before they can create the offer letter in the system. Congratulations!

If the candidate questionnaire was sent within workday after the multiple interviews i can assume this is a good sign and a potential offer is in the works?

Its just means your further along in the process. I did the questionnaire for 2 diff positions with the company a few months apart. The 1st I didn't get an offer, but I didnt do that questionnaire. I did do the questionnaire again for the 2nd role and got an offer. Good luck!

I gave interview in September , then additional question request get after one month. Since one month passed I did not get any response. Am I ghosted now?

I completed my panel interview 2 weeks ago, the hiring manager told me I should hear back about their decision in about 2 weeks. I didnt hear anything from them yet, but today I've got the email from workday and it asked me to complete the task which was candidate questionnaire. Does this mean anything?

I don’t know the answer about Merck, but I was applying for a job and they wanted you to sign that you wouldn’t take them to court that you would settle in mediation. I was like ummm, this doesn’t give me the warm & fuzzies. So, I didn’t finish the app.

Hi, did you get offer at the end.

I had an interview last week and got a email to complete the questionnaire. But someone I know that also applied got it as well and they didn’t make it to the final interview. Not sure if they just send it to all candidates that applied but also not sure that it means offer is coming
