I can’t really comment on the interview process, but one piece of feedback I do have to say to MSD is please shorten your time between submitting an application and hearing an outcome.
I applied for a role that was posted in March, spoke to an internal recruiter from MSD during that month and didn’t hear anything from the company until the end of June. No feedback, no reason why it took them 3 months to get back to me, simply an automated rejection email.
If there’s one thing I’d say, it’s that receiving an automated rejection email sent 3 months later with no reason for the delay do no justice to a company looking to have a positive brand image to prospective employees.
It actually puts people off applying for future roles at the company.
