Interview
Did the design test, went through all of the interviews, met the hiring manager, and even went to the last stage where they asked for my references and documents. HR mentioned that once those were cleared, I would be receiving a call about the offer — HR then proceeded to disappear for 3 weeks and ignored all my follow up emails. I received a formal rejection a couple days after that. This interview process has left a bad taste in my mouth and tarnished the company reputation for me. Interviewees spend so much time preparing for interviews, and this company has shown an appalling lack of respect for their time and effort.

Interview
After passing all the assessments and interviews, the recruiter then offered me a position different from the original one I applied for. When I asked for the specifics of this new role, the recruiter told me they would follow up with the Hiring Manager. After two attempts on following up, the recruiter ghosted me.

Interview
The overall interview process took slightly more than 2 months, and an additional 1 month to get back on result. In total, 3 full months.
Aside from assessment tests and design challenge, there were 3 other rounds (1+ hour each) meeting people in various functions, i.e. brand managers, design director and a panel of two department directors. Every round is almost similar - Introduce yourself and a series of situational questions, how you’d handle them etc.
4th and final 30mins with supposedly the reporting person, were mainly aligning on team/role’s expectations, also used this opportunity to ask in-depth questions to find out more about the department and role.
In summary,
- 1x assessment test
- 1x design challenge
- 4x rounds of interviews
It was quite an experience meeting the P&G team, understanding how they work, however I’d definitely hope that the hiring process could be shorten.
