Personally disgusted by the NJ HR team. I went on eight interviews for a role, was contacted directly by an AbbVie recruiter and told to hang-tight implying I would be receiving an offer only to be told they are not making an offer to me and are reopening the search. Personally, the HR individuals I interviewed with were low caliber anyway so it is of no shock they treat candidates so poorly.

Question 1
What do you do when there is a conflict with a lab member?
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie (Chicago, IL)
Interview
5 interviews with 3 team members and 1 HR representative. 4 interviews were very conversational while 1 was more skill based answering questions using the STAR method. Overall good experience, if you are qualified and know your stuff then you’ll do well!
