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.
