I applied online. I interviewed at Abbott (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2010
Interview
Hired after top candidate did not pass RM interview. Phone screen, several interviews with District Manager and one other DM, then RM interview (1). Follow up was key and is why I was selected over 2 other candidates whom had MBA. Be hungry.
First video screen. Did not get initial position I applied for but got offered a position in a different therapeutic area. Had interview with hiring manager then district manager then job offer all took about a week
Very easy, great questions. Was able to get feedback right away. Felt very prepared by the recruiter as what to expect during the interview process. Make sure you know about what products/disease states of what you would be selling.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Bohemia, NY) in May 2018
Interview
