I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie in May 2020
Interview
Initial HR screen followed by couple of phone interviews with the team. The team I interviewed with was great, typical Pharma BA questions regarding requirement gathering, validation and deployment.
My negative experience because of the HR -
1. Initial HR who screened me left the job, follow up emails bounced. Someone should have been a back up if the HR was supposed to quit.
2. The new HR contractor was not at all responsive, absolute no response to emails or calls. It took almost 6 weeks for the interviews to be set up after the HR screen and some kind of response would have been appreciated.
3. I had applied for the couple of positions and HR did not notify which position I was interviewing for even after asking multiple times. I asked this question to the interviewing team.
4. Even after I received rejection, HR did not know the status of my interview.
Frustrating process and hoping other folks don't have to go thru the same.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at AbbVie (New York, NY) in Jun 2020
Interview
Went through 3 rounds of interviews. After the third round, got a rejection email from HR who I never met and was never contacted by the hiring manager. Never got an explanation why I was rejected. Guess I was expecting at least to hear from the hiring manager since I personally spoke, and met with him face to face. Cold shoulder.

Interview
Skipped initial phone screen with HR, as I had interviewed for a similar position about 2 years ago. First conversation was with the hiring manager via phone about 2 weeks after submitting my application online. Phone interview was 45 minutes in length, and very cordial.
