I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie in Aug 2019
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn to set up a phone screen and scheduled phone interview with hiring manager later. Received feedback that experience wasn't enough for this role but maybe appropriate for a Manager role for which the compensation was less than the minimum I asked for when i spoke to the recruiter. However, none of those existed for now in that team. Not sure the side note about a non-existent lower level role was needed. Felt like a deceptive process.

About yourself and Why are you looking for a change
I applied online. I interviewed at AbbVie (North Chicago, IL)
Interview
I cannot get an interview despite having a background that matches/exceeds requirements. It appears the company does not open itself to many candidates outside their industry. I applied multiple times to multiple roles and never received a reply.
Went through 4 rounds of interviews before they went with someone else. And it took about 5 weeks from start to finish. They were very communicative throughout the process. Each interview decision took about a week to week and a half.
