InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Waters (Milford, MA) in Oct 2020
Three rounds of interviews. One with a recruiter, one with the manager and a third with senior leadership. Typical interview questions but more informal conversation. The level of communication after each interview and along every step of the way was great. Ultimately helped make the decision to accept the offer.

many one on ones with business partners and leadership, cross functional so many people need to see what you can bring to the table. The value that we provide is helping customers reduce costs, avoid costs, or increase revenue. How we can do this requires insight. And to learn this information, we need to go out and get it—knowing this information is not necessarily intuitive.

Very blunt and straight to the point in the best way. The people here are very down to earth and friendly despite the fact that it is a large corporation.

Application
InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Waters (United States) in Aug 2020
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.

I applied through a third party recruiter. There was an initial phone screen, and then an in person interview was scheduled at their facility in Golden, CO. Unfortunately three hours before the interview, I was informed via the recruiter via text message that the interview was canceled and the position was put on hold.
