      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Santa Clara, CA) in Nov 2009

      Interview

      Well organized HR staff and recruiting. All interviewers had a consistent approach and clear set of questions I was asked - mostly behavior based questions. Some negative questions also asked. examples - tell me about a time when a project really fell apart for you, etc. etc The staff are smart and motivated - be prepared before the interview

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a risk you took that did not work out?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Tell me about a tradeoff situation you had to deal with
      Answer question

      I applied online. I interviewed at Abbott

      Interview

      Filtered out by Workday within hours, even will all the requisite skills and experience. Pretty sure this is a failure of the automated triage gone haywire. Recommend Abbott get real people to screen applicants.
