I applied in-person. I interviewed at Abbott (Witney, England)
Interview
The interview consisted of two distinct parts: a personality assessment and technical questions. The personality segment included common questions such as identifying strengths, weaknesses, and recounting past mistakes. The technical portion was centred on the scientific aspects relevant to the job position, requiring a deeper understanding of the relevant science topics.

Question 1
How would you plan and design a scientific project?
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.
