Tell me about a time when you had to deal with someone difficult.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Waukegan, IL) in Apr 2010
Interview
Very thorough followup by the HR- from calling to emailing, the recruiter contacts you about every detail, which is really great in my opinion. From reserving the flight to details of the orientation, Abbott HR contacts you weeks in advance of the start date! They offer paid stay in Marriott courtyard during the 3-month internship, and grad students can get their own studio there. Many perks to being an intern at abbott.
