I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Abbott (Plano, TX) in Oct 2017
Interview
I had a 30 minutes phone interview with a Staff Engineer working for Neuromodulation group. The initial 15 mins went smoothly and she basically introduced herself and the nature of work in her group and position requirements. It went downhill when she asked me about statistical analysis and gage methods. I wasn't prepared for those questions in a phone interview and gave vague answers.
Applied online on Abbott's website. HR for recruitment called to set up a screening interview with the Hiring Manager. Followed by a virtual panel interview session over 7 hours with entire team. Interview went excellent per the interviewers and HR when I sent a thank you message.
But absolutely unprofessional - in over two months since the interview the team has not reverted with a feedback or reasons for not offering the job. Not even a courtesy note to say they have moved on.

A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn. The first call took place with the recruiter, a brief 10 min call to discuss my profile and the open position they wish to recruit for. After 2 week I got an email saying they would like to take the process forward and set up a 30 min phone interview with two hiring managers. Depending upon the result from the phone interview, next step is going. After phone interview I had onsite interview with 8 Engineers.
