I applied online. I interviewed at Abbott (Abbott Park, IL) in June 2024
Interview
Applied online and was followed up by a recruiter a few weeks later. The recruiter interview was normal and asked about existing experience. The next interview was with the hiring manager. The interview started off with asking about any questions I had, which was slightly odd and seemed rush. The rest of the interview was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. Overall the interview seemed super impersonal and rushed, which left a bad taste. I didn't bother to follow up and received a notice that the position has been canceled roughly 2 months later.

Question 1
Tell me about why you want to leave your current job.
What would your current manager say is your greatest weakness?
Easy, super easy just have to answer questions bout resume and make sure you're confident and you know your stuff. They like personality and a good attitude. Best of luck to anyone who interviews
Ask for background technical knowledge and ask for technical details about the embedded system and the server system and regulatory requirements for the medical devices. Ask simple questions to see the attitude.
