      Medical Science Liaison (MSL) Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at AbbVie in Aug 2025

      Interview

      Inconsiderate interview process, many reschedules and wasn’t given outcome or feedback after 3 interviews. Very disappointed as the role seemed a great fit. I should have seen the red flags in the beginning. First call was a standard HR one, except HR rescheduled twice - the first time was a few hours before the interview and then the second time (the next day), was cancelled 20 mins before. HR gave the wrong information, including the therapeutic area that the job was in, and the number of roles they were hiring for. I then got through to the second round interview with the Hiring Manager. The HM then rescheduled an hour before the interview to the next day. I understand things coming up, but this was a lot, as I had rescheduled work plans on all three occasions to fit these interviews. I should have withdrawn my application, but I then received an invite to a third and final in-person interview, so decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. Went in for a final interview which was actually nice, although I noticed the atmosphere in the office was somewhat dead. HM said she would call either the week after or week after that, but didn’t, despite me following up. HR then contacted me to update me that HM was now on AL, but would let me know the outcome on a certain day, but still didn’t. Terrible treatment and has put me off the company. Maybe they had an internal applicant, or they just didn’t want me, but either way, valuing people’s time isn’t hard.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at AbbVie (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      I applied online without a referral, and two months later, I was contacted by a recruiter via email to schedule an interview with the hiring manager. I had an initial interview with the hiring manager and another field director, and soon after, I was tasked with creating a presentation on one of their products. The presentation was 20 minutes, but the interview was 40 minutes total. A week after my presentation, I was contacted to set up a meeting with the national director for 30 minutes. Following the last interview, HR sent an email about 2 weeks later with a rejection.
