I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Abbott in Jan 2013
Interview
Applied online, the standard stuff. It took several months to hear back, but Abbott was spinning off Abbvie at the time, so it's understandable. Had a brief phone interview with the manager of the IT intern program. Very casual, great conversation. Received an offer at the end of our talk. Maybe 30 minutes total.

Question 1
All the usual "tell me about a time when you were faced with a challenge" type behavioral questions.
First general question about applicant and role. Gave me 2 hours to solve a pricing case, and then show it to managers. English is a must. Excel data analysis was required.
