I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mars
Interview
1st contact was over the phone with an HR person. The HR person ran through my resume, asking for more elaboration on my experience.
1st round - Video conference interview with one HR person and an account manager. The questions were behavioural and situational. The interviewers were friendly but pushed me on some of my answers, sometimes asking leading questions.
2nd round - One day on-site with other candidates vying for the same position. One interview with another HR person and a VP. I also had a couple of days to prepare a 10 minute presentation a topic that they gave me in advance and I presented it to a cross-functional panel of about 8 people. The panel followed up with a lot of questions. The environment felt quite comfortable despite being with people that I was competing with for the same job, and there was ample opportunity to chat with various people in the business to get to know Mars, which seemed like an open community.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time when you went against the direction of the group that you were working in.
2 rounds for the interview. 1st interview was with HR. 2nd interview was with the manager I would be working under. Since it was for an internship, questions mainly revolved around a more in-depth explanatation of my background (previous internships I had also done) and why I wanted to intern at Mars. For the second and final round, it was less an interview and more an explanation of my expected role as a part of the team.
