I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble
Interview
Attended info session on campus and spoke with many CBD managers. Application done online with online assessment tests which should be taken seriously as this is the first step that filters out majority. Career advisers are very helpful in helping you prepare! Prepare for global reasoning test by looking at P&G's site with their sample qs. They didn't share scores but I made it to the final interview held at headoffice (your interview score and test score are used to determine if you proceed to final round)
Final interview- lunch with a senior CBD manager and an interview with two CBD directors. Very similar questions to first round but the amount of detail they probe you for is to great extents. Left the interview with confused feeling because I couldn't connect with my interviewers which is a hit or miss. Another story that I was at a disadvantage for being interviewed over the phone and in person at their office which made communication a bit of an issue (from my perspective)
Received a rejection within two weeks. After following up for feedback they informed me that they wanted to see more evidence from my interview answers. All in all a great experience that allowed me to learn a lot about myself and the time in between each step lets you reflect on if working for P&G is right for you.
Entire process took well over a month but P&G really does invest time and resources into anyone they see with potential. All interview candidates were provided with opportunity to speak with managers over lunch, tour the office and get a nice taste of what it would be like to be a P&Ger. No idea how many were shortlisted for final round but know that if you've made it as far as final that they did see something- it's up to you to showcase your skills and strengths at every step but be yourself. The difference between a candidate hired and candidate at final round is really how well you connect with your interviewer given that the questions asked in first and second interview are highly similar and meant to be used to assess if they see you as a P&G fit (note that you should be highly prepared with many examples of all possible interview qs).
