I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Santa Ana, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Interview consisted of a brief telephonic screening. I was hired on the spot after the phone screen. I had to request a subsequent face to face interview so i could interview the employer/client to understand the project details better and what i was walking into. I tried to dig as much as i could but did not realize how deep the issues were until 3 months later into the project.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are the possible reasons in data discrepancies and where in the process / systems could they be arising?
Took super long to get through all the interviews. There was 4 rounds total and each one was spaced out 2-3 weeks apart. Very messy process overall, gave me the impression that they are disorganized and very bad at communicating.

Interview
Very horrible communication
Had 3 interviews that somehow spanned over 3 months only to be told I didn’t get the job. Person coordinating the interviews ignored my emails asking questions then would follow up asking me to schedule the next interview. Bad experience overall, definitely won’t consider another position with abbott

Interview
The interview process was simple and straightforward. After initial screening, there was a second round of interview with Hiring managers from different departments. They were really respectful and curious throughout the 30 mins call. HR is also fantastic as i was very comfortable talking to them. They just asked to introduce yourself, then some questions regarding the previous experiences & ended with asking why do you want to join Abbott. Kudos to the interview panel and HR team for making process straightforward and comfortable.
