Question 1
Do you prefer to gather information before starting a task or jump into it and get information as needed?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Abbott in Nov 2011
Interview
I was contacted for an interview by email after applying on Abbott's jobs website. The interview consisted of an initial interview with the hiring manager, followed by an interview with the next level up manager followed by interviews with 2 peer positions. All interviews were ~45 minutes and were one on one. All the interviews were the situational "tell me about a time when.............". Closed with a final 15 minutes with the hiring manager. Subsequent to the interview, I had no response for several weeks and finally after a few follow up emails (~10 weeks after the interview), I got a response to one of my emails informing me that I would not be receiving an offer.
