First I met with the hiring manager and then second interview with a panel. Both were virtual interviews over zoom. They asked similar behavioral questions and we discussed a lot about team and culture as well as what the role consisted of.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Abbott (Alameda, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
It took a long time to respond if at all. They're so busy that I constantly had to follow up if they were even interested. The first call was with the HR recruiter describing and confirming the job description details. Then to schedule/get in touch with the manager for the role. I thought it went well but overall it was a positive standard, superficial Teams meeting. The manager seemed stressed, out of time but happy to answer my questions. Manger explained how busy the role would be. It felt like we hit it off but was not asked for another round of interviews.

Question 1
why you want to work here, describe yourself/your work experience, describe something you're proud of working on, how to handle a stressful project.
