I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Abbott
Interview
I met the hiring managers at a career fair conference. They were both very nice and attentive. They did not ask many technical questions but rather asked about my studies and passions. They were looking for interested people who were willing to learn, so it is a great opportunity for graduating students looking for their first jobs.
Took super long to get through all the interviews. There was 4 rounds total and each one was spaced out 2-3 weeks apart. Very messy process overall, gave me the impression that they are disorganized and very bad at communicating.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you noticed that quality was not up to standard so you had to take a stand to ensure things were done the right way

Interview
Very horrible communication
Had 3 interviews that somehow spanned over 3 months only to be told I didn’t get the job. Person coordinating the interviews ignored my emails asking questions then would follow up asking me to schedule the next interview. Bad experience overall, definitely won’t consider another position with abbott

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Abbott (Galway) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process was simple and straightforward. After initial screening, there was a second round of interview with Hiring managers from different departments. They were really respectful and curious throughout the 30 mins call. HR is also fantastic as i was very comfortable talking to them. They just asked to introduce yourself, then some questions regarding the previous experiences & ended with asking why do you want to join Abbott. Kudos to the interview panel and HR team for making process straightforward and comfortable.
