Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 8 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Abbott (Clonmel) nel mese di apr 2017
Colloquio
I applied online. Had a screening call with HR for about 10 minutes followed 2 weeks later by more in-depth call with Abbott recruiter, about 30 minutes long.
HR subsequently emailed interview confirmation, two interviews back to back with one person in each interview. He said I would have feedback if not a decision by end of same week.
On the day it ended up being 3 interviews back to back with 4 people in total. The interviews were conversational rather than formal. However they did not ask many probing questions or ask for many examples so I got the feeling they had already picked a successful candidate before meeting me.
Despite assurances of hearing feedback / decision by end of same week, it was in fact 3 full weeks later before they sent a generic email confirming that my application was unsuccessful. I replied seeking specific feedback but they did not respond. Found this disappointing after making a big effort for the interview, plus being ambushed on the day by extra interviews and extra people. Unprofessional on Abbott's part.
Couple of generic points; the office looked nice. They emphasised Abbott's "meeting-heavy" culture.
Good, phone screening was a light process. Recruiter told me it would be behavioral with the hiring manager followed by a technical and another behavioral round. The hiring manager was solid.
Multi‑step interview process with recruiter screening, technical and behavioral rounds, and final conversations with leadership. Overall well‑organized, standard pacing, and clear communication throughout. Interview process included initial phone screen, several structured interviews, and follow‑ups with team members. Expectations were clearly explained, though the timeline moved at a moderate pace

Colloquio
Initially rejected and then invited for a screening call when job was reposted. Following this I was scheduled for 1:1 with hiring manager. Video call was scheduled for 1 hour, but ‘interview’ lasted 10 minutes. Was talking through my experience and was interrupted by a “thank you for applying and I wish you all the best.” Total waste of time for all involved.
