I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie (Waukegan, IL) in Nov 2021
Interview
Had three interviews for a position. Everyone I interviewed with was very friendly and high-energy. The process was very informal but they somewhat had me playing the questioning game and did not give me an answer when I was promised. Had to wait an extra few days to find out I did not get the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you manage projects?
How do you go about starting projects?
What are your strongest skills?
They asked STAR style questions, related to experience, education & background. Competency based questions & situational questions such as “show us a time where you…”
Interview lasted an hour and was with the line manager and senior manager
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

Question 1
Could you share a challenging experience you have faced so far?
The interview process was a set of 5 interviews starting with a recruiter call and moving up through various levels of management. This was a remote position so all were virtual. The people were very nice but the process took over a month to get through. The position was closed without hiring anyone in the end.
