I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Alameda, CA)
Interview
There were three 45-minute interviews: one with the hiring manager, one with a person on the intern committee, and one with a person on an adjacent team, not necessarily in that order. All three were scheduled at the beginning of the process.
First round was two, 30-minute interviews. Second round was five, 30-minute interviews. The gap between the first and second rounds was ~1-2 weeks. The offer followed within a couple weeks of the second round.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Abbott (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2011
Interview
Lots of networking events, kissing up to many people within the company to prove your "love". Actual interview process began long before the interview - with romancing the company, networking, etc. On the day of the interview - two 1:1 interviews, mostly behavioral. Overall, not a bad experience but too much emphasis is placed on networking rather than skill, potential, experience.
