I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie in Aug 2019
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn to set up a phone screen and scheduled phone interview with hiring manager later. Received feedback that experience wasn't enough for this role but maybe appropriate for a Manager role for which the compensation was less than the minimum I asked for when i spoke to the recruiter. However, none of those existed for now in that team. Not sure the side note about a non-existent lower level role was needed. Felt like a deceptive process.
Recruiter requested via email in mid-December that I provide her with multiple dates and times during the first two weeks of January for us to speak via telephone for an initial phone screen. She then left me "hanging" with multiple time slots soft-scheduled for more than two weeks while she vacationed over the holidays before she selected a date and time that I had already rescheduled for other activities. I rescheduled these other activities so we could talk.
She didn't show for our call but instead cancelled the call 10 minutes AFTER the scheduled call starting time, informing me via email that the position was given to another candidate.
I found her conduct to be highly inconsiderate, less than professional, and a less than positive representation of AbbVie to me as an external candidate.

Interview
Phone interview. Did not seem to have the standard HR process or canned behavioral questions. Hiring manager asked a lot about business processes and approaches of my company.
