I applied through other source. I interviewed at Abbott (Saint Paul, MN) in Oct 2021
Interview
Panel interview with multiple engineers. Questions are usually just about what you know to see if you are a good fit. Not a lot of gotchya questions, so it was pretty straight forward. The onboarding process at this company is non existent, unfortunately, which is part of the reason why I left.

Question 1
What do you know about Abbott and its different businesses
It was alright, the questions weren't too challenging and the interviewer was pretty nice. The location is very bad though at Tuas. Very inaccessible to travel on your own. They provide company shuttle bus from where I live so it's ok.
