I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Abbott (Clonmel) in Sep 2024
Interview
Formal. Competency based interview. Followed STAR interview model. Typical questions included talking about leadership, problem solving, teamwork and communication. They wanted you to relate to prior skills and projects. Also asked why you want to work at company and 5 year plan.
Simple and easy. Staff were all kind and professional with a mix of behavior questions and also specific job function questions. Overall it was a great experience and it was a pleasure speaking with the hiring team.

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.
