I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AbbVie in Apr 2021
Interview
There was a 'Job Fair' type event where I participated in several screening interviews (~10-15 mins each). I was then contacted by recruiters for 2 different internship positions to schedule 30-45 minute interviews. One position had a 45 minute interview and the other had two 30 minute interviews.

Question 1
One of the interviews was very formal and specifically asked me to respond using the STAR format. The other two were much more conversational.
Nice interviewers, two different rounds (HR, scientific personnel). Received positive feedback throughout the process. Had 1:1 meetings with other team members. Overall an enjoyable process, but it could have been faster (took a few weeks).

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AbbVie
Interview
Great interviewing process. Very welcoming people, the questions they give are very introspective gives you the chance to reveal yourself and ability. They are also transparent with what they are looking for.
Pretty normal for STEM related interviews, asked about my technical skills and experience and how my experience would translate to the position. Talked to two different groups of people, both groups were pleasant.
