I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Chicago, IL) in May 2018
Interview
First I interviewed with a recruiter on the phone for about 30 minutes. The questions were the usual ones. After about 3 weeks I received an email to a digital interview where I faced the camera and the questions were popping up one at a time with an average of 3 minutes to answer each question. It also went very well. Most questions were behavioral and if you are experienced enough, you should have no problem answering them. Then I had a face to face interview with 4 different managers that lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes at Abbott Lab location in Chicago. This one was quite hectic but all the managers were very nice and made me feel very comfortable.
