I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott
Interview
I received a phone call that my resume was being considered, and that I was a perfect fit for the job. Within 2 weeks they scheduled me for an interview. They did not send me the extensive interview packet until 4 pm the day before the interview which I found very unprofessional.
The interview was 7 hours (and I met with over 40 people) which I find excessive. The questions in the interview were very redunant, and the interviewers seemed unprepared, or inexperienced conducting an interview.
Multiple times throughout the interview the conversation came out of the split up of Abbott, and the employees seemed very upset about it. I thought this was unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you believe in a project you are working on, and your supervisor does not, how do you convince them to let you continue spending time on it?
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.

Question 1
Are you on OPT? Will you need visa sponsorship in the future?
The interview process was okay. There might be multiple rounds of the interview. The first round would be scheduling with the Talent Acquisition and then the next rounds will be with your team lead.
