I applied through 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.
The interview process was fairly straightforward. They asked me about me mostly about my resume and hypothetical situations that could occur while on the job. In total it was around 4-5 different interviews.
Screening, panel interview, then decision. Very straight forward and easy process. Follow STAR method. Interviewers were very personable and friendly. Most questions are behavioral but they do ask technical questions at the end.
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.
