I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Waters (Milford, MA) in Jul 2013
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn by a recruiter and had a brief phone interview with him prior to setting up a second phone interview with the hiring manager. After a fairly lengthy interview with the hiring manager (mostly non-technical) was brought in to meet a variety of directors managers and engineers as well as HR. During the on-site I was also able to tour the facility. Overall a good experience.

Question 1
Some questions about pump physics and heat transfer caught me off guard, but were fairly reasonable in difficulty.
Great experience overall, gentle and professional treatment from the panel and they would give you a real feel of what it is gonna be like if you want to work at Waters
