I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abbott (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I spoke with recruitment personnel at an on-campus fair. Everyone was friendly, and I left a copy of my resume. I followed up with the recruiter, who said that I should apply online. There seemed to be no online link, but I heard there was a secret link. Unfortunately, that link did not work for me as well. However, I received a request for a digital interview and then a phone interview for follow up. The phone interview was supposed to be via telepresence but at the last minute they changed it to a phone interview. I was notified the next week that I got the job.
