OPDP Interview
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Abbott (Lake Forest, IL)
Interview
It was on Hirevue, and one had to look at the screen and answer questions in a very short timespan. There is also no interviewer hence it feels like one is talking to themselves rather than with a person. It feels cold, robotic and impersonal.

What happens in an Abbott HireVue interview?
In a HireVue interview, you’ll record yourself answering questions.
Those questions might be shown to you as a couple of lines of text or they might be displayed as a pre-recorded video by someone at Abbott asking you that question.
Then, you’ll get around 30 seconds to prepare your answer and around two minutes to answer.
The number of questions varies, so be ready to answer anything from 2 to 5 questions.
You can answer on your cell phone, laptop, or desktop computer – as long as it has a camera.
The questions asked will be mostly behavioral ones, so make sure you are brushed up on how to answer those. The best way to answer them is via the STAR method – if you aren’t familiar with how to ace every question using that method, check out the video below.
You also want to be aware of Abbott’s corporate values. You want to answer the behavioral questions on HireVue through the lens of those values. This will make the hiring manager’s life very easy as they are looking for those values in every person they evaluate.
You can find Abbott’s corporate values on its website. Also take a look at their website to familiarize yourself with Abbott’s history and corporate goals, because knowledge of those can be extremely helpful in an interview.
