I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie (South San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Initial phone interview for 15-30 minutes. Contacted for follow-up panel interview. Panel interview was conducted by video call, 7x 30 minute sessions with 1-3 interviewers each. Mostly spoke about responsibilities of the position.
I applied online. I interviewed at AbbVie in Oct 2025
Interview
I got an email for phone screen with talent acquisition almost 2 weeks after sending an application online. The same day they scheduled a Teams meeting with the hiring manager. The day after I had a call with the hiring manager I got an invite to go onsite. Pleasant overall experience interviewing with the team in-person. Just wish there was more flexibility with seeing the campus and lab. Also, would have been nice to NOT get ghosted!
There was an initial call with a recruiter, followed up by an on-site interview with a series of hiring managers. There were both behavioral and technical questions. Overall it was well-planned and well-executed.
