I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Des Plaines, IL)
Interview
Was referred by another candidate and underwent an informal in-person interview, and on-site interview. The on-site interview started very disorganized. I waited in lobby for someone to pick me up to bring me to the seminar room for my presentation. In the end, the hiring manager came 10 minutes late. The interview was all day long, from 9-4pm, with a 1 hour seminar followed by one-on-one and group interviews through the end of the day.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Witney, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
There was an initial interview with someone from HR and then an in-person interview with two people from the team. The call with HR was a little bit strange, it felt a little bit more like an interrogation and I was asked things like "Where is Witney?"
