I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Geneva) in Nov 2015
Interview
It is a long process to go through, but if you get an offer in the end, it is mostly not only for an internship but for a full time position afterwards, as the company rarely hires people from outside for higher positions. I did an online assessment test, afterwards a reasoning test at university and finally I got invited to spend one day in Geneva where I had to go through 3 interviews. On the whole, the people were very friendly, and you get even paid flights and hotel stays to come to the event. Most questions in the interview are behavioral and you have to answer by STAR technique. I also had to solve a small brain teaser/math question, which was not really difficult, they just want to see how you react and work.

El proceso de selección fue bastante largo: alrededor de 3 meses de espera, 3 entrevistas y aproximadamente 6 horas en total hablando con diferentes personas. Al final, la propuesta consistía en unas prácticas no remuneradas y la decisión fue negativa. Creo que el proceso podría ser más ágil y transparente para evitar invertir tanto tiempo por ambas partes.
The interview process was well-structured and professional. The interviewers asked challenging behavioral questions, focusing on leadership and collaboration. Overall, it was a positive experience that gave me good insights.good experience.
