I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MKS Instruments (Wilmington, MA) in Feb 2022
Interview
It was an interview with an HR person, sort of pre-screening. The HR person was professional and friendly. The questions, at least some of them, were provided as a script by the hiring manager. In a few days I was informed via e-mail that I will not have the interview with the hiring manager. I asked for any feedback, but received no response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell about the previous risk management experience
There was a phone call with the HR person. She seemed to have been asking a scripted set of questions.
In 1 business day, she responded that after she shared my responses with the senior project manager, he decided that it was "not a fit for his current hiring needs."

Question 1
Many questions were very standard, One of the questions I remember was asking to give an example of risk management in the previous job(s).
The interview was not particularly difficult, but the fact that it was not a conversation, but rather collecting of the responses made it more impersonal. A conversation with the hiring manager would have been better, but I guess they do such screenings.
