This review is related to the initial interview process with HR.

Dislikes

Initial interview with HR was chokingly disrespectful. HR representative was abrupt and inflexible. The tone of her voice and her overall communication style were passive aggressive. She indicated that per MERCK policy she will not share nor communicate any salary/compensation information and she "demanded" from the candidate to provide that information instead. - definitely a turn off. Will not join.
