I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2018
Interview
Got an email from a recruiter asking for a good time to come in and meet the team. Was in the building within a week. Interview lasted a total of 2 hours. Wasn't overly difficult, but moreso getting a feel for previous work and why Abbott. Didn't hear anything for 2.5 weeks and then suddenly got a request for a second interview with a director and separate manager. Very basic and moreso wanting to see how I would fit in with the team. A few background questions as well. Got an offer a couple hours later. I thought the process was overall pretty professional and standard.
