I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AbbVie
Interview
Typical process with a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager, followed by a full day interview consisting of 1 hr science talk followed by several 1:1 meetings with various members of the team. There was a virtual social hour with a few senior members the evening before the full day interview. All virtual due to Covid19. The full day process was long and intense, but very enjoyable with many science discussions.
