I applied online. I interviewed at Abbott in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. After the phone screen I interviewed with the hiring manager. Overall Abbott is a great company, but the recruiter was a bit full of himself. The hiring manager made up for the recruiter. I did not continue the process as they were looking for slightly different experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical behavior typically interview questions were asked.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Abbott (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
Phone Interview and follow-up. HR representative reached out for a potential opportunity. The conversation went well and there was follow-up in setting the future interviews. However, due to other reasons, the next step was cancelled. But the HR representative was really nice by follow-up emails and apology. It is very unusual for a large company like Abbott will do that.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Abbott (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Entire process took 5 months. There were too many isolated interviews and the interviewers asked the same questions over and over. Panel interview or 2 per session would have been better. Communication was poor about status of position.
