I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Abbott (Worcester, MA) in Apr 2010
Interview
I first got a call from HR and they scheduled a time and date for the interview. I then had a telephonic conversation with the HR representative which lasted for around 30mins. It was a behavioural interview which comprised of normal questions like cite an example of leadership or tell us how you came up with your own idea of trouble shooting something or what sort of a position you are looking for. Then I got a call one week later to interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager did not ask me that many questions. He was friendly just wanted to know about my technical skills and what research projects i was working on. It was totally a technical interview. Then he said they will call me for an onsite but I have not heard back from them,

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Abbott (Witney, England)
Interview
The interview consisted of two distinct parts: a personality assessment and technical questions. The personality segment included common questions such as identifying strengths, weaknesses, and recounting past mistakes. The technical portion was centred on the scientific aspects relevant to the job position, requiring a deeper understanding of the relevant science topics.

Question 1
How would you plan and design a scientific project?
It was a lengthy process; I was invited to the interview one month after submitting my application. I was asked both general and complex technical questions. The interviewers were friendly and fostered a relaxed atmosphere.
Applied to a scientist position at Abbott Nutrition. Was reached out by a recruiter via email after couple of weeks. The email was short and just asked a few standard questions. I replied the email, but never heard back from them since then. Sent about 5 follow-up messages afterwards, but never got any response. A rejection letter came after about a month without any update.
