I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I met with recruiters at an on-campus career fair. They do a mini-interview on the spot, asking why you're interested in Abbott and what experiences you've had in engineering. I got a phone call that night, and then my interview was the week after. The actual interview was pretty standard -- "Tell me a little about yourself," "Tell me about a time when you worked on a group project," "What experience do you have working with medical devices," etc. If you get the position, you get a phone call a few days after; if not, you'll get a phone call a week or two later.
