I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Abbott in Mar 2022
Interview
Hiring Manager reached out to me. He asked me a couple of behavioral and technical questions. Later was a panel interview/technical discussion and a final round with two managers. They offered me and gave a week to let them know my decision. On 7th day, before accepting the offer, I requested HR if there is any possibility of working remotely for 2 months. She said she will get back to me and next day she took back my offer.
