I applied online. I interviewed at Waters in Aug 2020
Interview
The interview process was clear and structured. First, a call with HR. Then, a video call with the hiring manager. Then, the third round, which was 4 separate video calls with different stakeholders in the Marketing team. None of the questions felt unfair or unreasonable. Most were asking questions that had to do with the job description from the posting, so reading that very carefully is important. Also, there were no writing tests required -- they just asked for portfolio samples, which I appreciated. The process took time. From the first HR call to the final interview, the interview stage took 1 month total, but I think a lot of that had to do with scheduling on busy calendars and the fact that all the 3rd stage interviews had to be set individually rather than one on-site day of interviews.
2 rounds of interviews. One with the manager of the team and the next was 10 minute sessions with each of the team members. The second round was more to get to know the team members and for them to see if you were a good fit. Overall very quick process since they needed to fill the position as soon as they could.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Waters (Milford, MA) in Feb 2010
Interview
Had 2 initial phone interviews and 2 subsequent in-person interviews with multiple interviewers in each visit (escalating in authority the further into the process I got). Overall, everyone was very friendly and the culure seems good.
