I applied online. I interviewed at AbbVie (Ludwigshafen am Rhein) in Jun 2025
Interview
Communication with HR is not sufficient. Without a HR interview, I have directly met with the departmant head and then met with the whole team. Also hard to follow up on their internal process as there was no information flow from HR
