I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (North York, ON) in Feb 2014
Interview
1. Applied online - sent 2 tests through email. One was a personality test, the other was a reasoning test where you had to identify sequences of shapes. There are many online tools to help you prepare for this.
2. On-site test with 3 parts: reasoning (similar to online), logic questions and simple math problem questions.
3. In-person interview with one (sometimes two) managers (5-8 yrs experience with P&G). All behavioural questions and you are measured against P&G's success drivers
4. In-person interview with two senior sales managers. Again, all behavioural questions similar to first in-person interview. At this point, they are looking for fit.
I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (London, England)
Interview
2x tests, 2 interviews, interviews were in person and tests were online. I spoke with several different people. They also run career academy's which is more group work. All in all a very thorough process.
The process was straightforward and easy. It typically begins with an online application and a short assessment that evaluates cognitive and situational judgment skills. This is followed by one or two interviews, which are more conversational and centered around your motivation for the role, communication skills, and examples of leadership or initiative—often using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method.
Interviews for the academy week application: there were two rounds of 1hr interviews on behavioural and situational questions. Interviewers have 5 behavioural and 2 situational questions to ask the interviewee. They will also ask follow up questions on what you have said.
