I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pentair in Sep 2019
Interview
Quite the process, but I suppose that is a good thing! I believe I had 4 separate phone interviews followed up with meeting about 8 people in person for the position.
Phone interviews were all pretty standard, with one getting into a little more of the details.
The in person interview was good. Started with a plant tour (always nice) and then a one on one meeting. From there two separate panel interviews occurred with various individuals from the company.
Some of the questions were STAR based, others were just driving conversation to get to know myself as well as allow me to know them. All in all not too bad.
Only major complaint I have was that it took almost a month to finally hear back on next steps following the interview. Was not a speedy process at all. Again, if you want to make sure the candidate is a good fit however, maybe that is part of the reason.

Hiring manager did not show up, was only the recruiter. Interview had very little substance and it took two weeks to hear back from even that, very disrespectful and unprofessional

First there is a phone interview followed by a Hiring manager interview. Then three Panel interviews and finally Plant manager interview. Try to use the STAR format when answering every question. It takes a little over a month depending on how many candidates.
