I approached Watlow at a Job Fair at my college. After speaking to a couple of the engineers, I received a phone call from their HR department about scheduling an on-campus interview. The on-campus interview consisted of two engineers, asking about previous experience. Following the on-campus interview, I was invited to a Career day at their main manufacturing plant in Richmond, IL. The night before Career day, Watlow held a social event at a nearby restaurant, where we could mingle with engineers, HR, and other applicants. Career day consisted of a provided breakfast, a brief introduction and overview, and four rounds of interviewing with behavior-based questions. Each round consisted of two Watlow employees (engineers and/or HR). The day also included a plant tour. The hardest part of the process was the questions themselves. The event itself was well-organized, all arrangements were made by Watlow, and everyone seemed to be happy to be there; a very welcoming environment.

I found out about the company through the career fair at my university. I was asked to have a behavior based interviewer with someone from HR and another rotational engineer. At the begining of the interview, I was allowed to ask the question I had prepared, then they asked their questions. They appeared to be very organized and had a list of questions to ask, but only picked a few of them. After the first round interview, I was flown to one of their plants to have 3 separate interviews as well as receive a plant tour. I heard their decision within 2 weeks.
