I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Abbott (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2007
Interview
Initially got referred through a recruiter. The set up for the interview went very well. Abbott coordinated my flight, hotel, and transportation without any problems. My initial conversation with HR at the beginning of the interview day was not pressured in terms of finding out what my salary requirements were, which I appreciated. They had sent me the benefits package prior to my going to Abbot and were able to answer any questions I had. I was put in a room, and each interviewer came to see me. Each interviewer was very engaged in their discussions with me and very forthright in what they were looking for. The people I interacted with were nice and seemed to enjoy working at Abbott. I did get the sense that the decision-making was top-down and that movement "up the ladder" wasn't very common. The work culture appeared to be respectful.

The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2021
Interview
Well organized and done virtually; no issues. Professional interview with all appropriate questions. I met with three different people including an HR leader. Each interview was at a separate time. They answered my questions but very generally answering broadly at a 30K level rather than specifically addressing my concerns and questions.
