I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Abbott in Jan 2008
Interview
I was sent an emailed questionnaire to fill out. Approximately two weeks went by before my first panel interview. There was practically zero eye contact, because the interviewers were reading behavioral scenarios from paper. Another two weeks go by. I had another panel interview.
The interview process was fairly straightforward. They asked me about me mostly about my resume and hypothetical situations that could occur while on the job. In total it was around 4-5 different interviews.
Screening, panel interview, then decision. Very straight forward and easy process. Follow STAR method. Interviewers were very personable and friendly. Most questions are behavioral but they do ask technical questions at the end.
Simple and easy. Staff were all kind and professional with a mix of behavior questions and also specific job function questions. Overall it was a great experience and it was a pleasure speaking with the hiring team.
