I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AbbVie
Interview
The company looks to feed in people through it's internship program, so try and get into the internship program if you can. The interview process itself is pretty easy; they don't ask many technical questions. So long as you know the company inside and out and can talk about your resume and personal interests you should be fine. It's very political and in the long run promotions are equally based on who you know not how good of an employee you are, but the program does a good job of helping you circumvent that-granted you'll likely just be stuck in middle management forever.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie (North Chicago, IL)
Interview
Two short 30 minute interviews on campus. These were very basic and behavioral questions. After that they ask you to visit their headquarters for a super day of sorts. These interviews were also mainly behavioral. Just make sure you know why you would want to work at AbbVie as that seemed to be a big factor in their decision process.
