The interview consisted of two, 30 minute interviews. Both of the interviews were with one interviewer. Th questions asked were strictly behavioral, along the lines of "tell me about a time when...?" There was no planned office visit, offers were made right after the interviewers.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Abbott Park, IL (took 3 months)
It was a long, tedious, exacting interview process. For every employer I had to find a reference.
Negotiation Details
The company was willing to negotiate on some things but not others. Overall, the compensation and benefits package was good offer but they let me go within a couple of weeks of cashing in on any of what they were offering. I would recommend you negotiate a severance package up front with this company.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Abbott Park, IL (took a day)
I was initially introduced to the company through a presentation they gave in an accounting club I was involved with. After that, they also donated scholarship money to the club, which I was one of the receipients of. I got to know one of the managers there who took a proactive approach in trying to get to know the students and expose them to Abbott.
after that, during fall recruiting, I was accepted for the interview. The structure of their interview consisted of two management level executives interviewing you. One was more involved in the intern/FPDP program, while the other focused more on the operations of the business as a whole on the financial side. Their interview was very standard in the questions they would ask, such as work experience and such. What I found peculiar was their strong focus on asking me about my failures/a-time-I-was-uncomfortable, which threw me off track a bit, making me deliver less than satisfactory answers.

Interviewed Apr 2007 in Abbott Park, IL (took 3 weeks)
Fairly standard interview process with three individuals. Mostly focussed on past accomplishments, future goals, and the interviewers going on to describe the project direction and their expectations from the new positions. Over all easy interview I would say.
