I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott in May 2014
Interview
Excellent process, clear indication of next step at all stages. 1st round telephone call, 2nd round panel, then there were reference checks and medicals completed. Contacted then with offer, contract shared and started within a month.

Interview
I had a phone interview with the HR recruiter. It was an introductory conversation that flowed well. The recruiter knew about me and was friendly. I did not move on to the next step.
Initial stage was a video interview where you can't even interact with someone. It's recorded. If you can't give qualified candidates the time and energy of even a phone call, why should they invest in you. Especially when your employees have to work 100 in office. It seems like you're cutting yourself off at the knees.

Interview
Really nice and smooth interview process. The hiring manager quickly explained everything and was very attentive. I really appreciated when I was extended an offer. I will definitely implement the hiring process starting from the interview into my own recruiting style.
