AbbVie

It’s been 6 months since I joined Abbvie and I received a joining bonus of 10k (~8k after tax deductions). Now I plan to switch to other firm and I need to return joining bonus. So will I be liable to pay the actual amount 10k or the amount after tax deductions ~8k to AbbVie ?

I interviewed at AbbVie (Irvine, CA)

Interview

My long time aspirations quickly dissolved after interviewing here-- incredibly stuffy environment. An individual in a VP position was incredibly dismissive and rude when answering their question in explaining my job gap which was due to Covid-19 (at no fault of my own and like so many people unfortunately experienced) This individual's lack of sensitivity was really surprising and disappointing especially since in my initial screen I was told how 'nice' this person was.

Thorough, in much detail and perspective. Rather easy questions focusing in your education and working experience. They get interest in your ambitions and your development persepective. The interview was performed from persons originating from different functions in the company.

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AbbVie

Interview

A series of five 30-minute video interviewers with the TA Rep, hiring manager, senior director and 3 potential peers. Free-flow conversation for half of them, the rest asked very pointed questions with little time for rapport building. They all asked the same questions, so it was evident that the interview panel was not aligned from the start on who was to ask what. The process seemed haphazard and gave me the impression that TA did not work as a team. They should have buddied up on interviews to save everyone time. Why 6 separate, rushed interviews when they could have done a couple of panel interviews of 45 mins to an hour each? Overall, not an organized process. The most disappointing element was that after having gone to final rounds, they went quiet on me, only to send me a generic rejection email a few weeks later. My requests for feedback from the hiring manager were brushed aside, with excuses that they are busy. I was then ghosted. It was not a positive candidate experience. If TA treats a potential colleague this way, how are they treating others across the board?

Submitted my application online. First there was a phone screen with a recruiter then a follow up with the hiring manager on webcam. Went through basic resume questions and experiences. Got a generic rejection email 10 minutes after the interview was over. Waste of time.

I finished third round of interviews but realized there’s an experience that isn’t on my resume (since it’s not directly related to the jobs I’m applying for) nor did I mention it in the interview process, but it would actually be great for me to leverage and demonstrates a relevant skill for the role. Is it worth emailing and dropping a quick note about it, or should I leave it?

I have a supply chain & inventory manager interview coming up for a museum. Can anyone provide me some insight on what questions I should be prepared for? What key points to highlight during my interview? Any tips and advice is appreciated!

I finished final round interview. Should I send a thank you letter to everyone or only to people where I have something interesting to add on. I interviewed with the hiring manager twice already and sent thank you emails. He never responds, should I even bother to send him one more since we talked again in the final round? HR said I wouldn’t hear back until late next week earliest. It sounds like they still have to wrap up final rounds with other people. I don’t want them to forget me.
