Interview
I applied online and took a few backs to hear back from them. The first step was an initial phone screening to go over your background and learn more about the opportunity. I was then invited to meet with the hiring manager for the area. Interviewed with 2 Regional Managers for the area and felt it went well. The interview lasted about an hour. It was pretty much all situational based questions. The entire process was pretty seamless. I felt I was a good fit because I have experience in CPG but was not selected to move forward. With that said, the company and entire interview process was very professional. They kept me informed the entire time, met their deadlines, and did not give me the run around. I was disappointed not to move forward but wish Mars and their people continued success.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All situational. Tell me about a time you had to meet a deadline. Tell me about how you handled an upset customer. They have a very specific way they want you to answer and took detailed notes on every question.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mars (Australia Island)
Interview
Started with a phone from recruiter. followed by personality test. Then it was two on one with hiring manager and colleague, the interview also allocated time for a case study and a small presentation post doing it.
This is great to hear. We’re glad your route into life at Mars was a supported and successful one. If you’d like to expand on your feedback, please get in touch with your People and Organisation team.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Mars (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter for a HireVue video interview. Those are super awkward in my opinion but I completed it and they asked pretty general questions. I must have done well on the video portion so I moved on to the panel interview w/2 executives via Zoom. I thought I did really well and have interviewed w/Mars before on the companion animal products side and once again, I didn’t get the position. Really disappointing but guess my age or maybe it’s just me that doesn’t fit the Mars profile of what they are looking for. So, rant over and thankful I am employed and good luck to anyone interviewing w/them. . Mars is a great company!

Question 1
Situational type-Tell me about a time when poor planning affected your work and what you did to combat this? Answer questions in the “STAR method” and definitely use Mars 5 principles in your answers.
I applied online. I interviewed at Mars in Oct 2017
Interview
Interview process was good. I felt as if they were looking for a male for this position. They told me multiple times that this was a big job and I would be working very hard, get dirty, and sweaty. I felt as if they were disinterested from the beginning due to my female professional appearance. When sharing some of my experience, the main interviewer seemed to shrug off my work experience.
