I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Waters (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jul 2015
Interview
Contacted by a staffing agency to fill a contract to hire engineering position. Had 1:1 interviews with two managers. They described the position to me and asked me questions on my previous experience on a similar role. This was followed by a tour of the manufacturing facility. Probably would have accepted the offer if it was a full time position.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Waters (Milford, MA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Interview was about 4 hours long, meeting with different people for 30 minutes at a time. Most was talking about the position and my previous experience, and a couple simple technical questions. Overall pleasant interview process, although after interviewing and waiting for a full month to hear back, they decided to dissolve this particular position (which has happened to me twice at this company!!)
