Associate Manager at Procter & Gamble

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Bhopal Jan 2008 – Reviewed Jul 03, 2012

Interview Details The interview was conducted on campus. there was a detailed presentation before the interview which highlighted the achievements of P&G in the last 5 years. They also answered any doubts/concerns that we had. The interview was a 2 stage process with 2 people interviewing me in each stage. The 1st interview is a shortlisting process for the 2nd interview. The 2nd interview is typically taken by senior P&G leadership and was much more thorough than the 1st one. Be prepared to answer in-depth probing about anything that you say.

Market Strategy and Planning at Procter & Gamble

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Mumbai Nov 2009 – Reviewed Jun 09, 2012

Interview Details I was applying as an MBA summer associate. I had 2 back to back interviews during our recruitment day. Both the interviews were HR based. Each of the 2 sets of interviews lasted about 30 to 45 minutes. Each of the interviews were taken by a panel of 2 people - one from their HR department and one from the respective business/function. P&G hires people for their attitude and hence all questions were HR based and not at all technical in nature. The interviewers were really good and helpful people. Focus was more on prior leadership experiences, team work and about me as a person - major decisions in life and why I took them.

Assistant Brand Manager at Procter & Gamble

No Offer – Interviewed in Calcutta Feb 2012 – Reviewed Mar 21, 2012

Interview Details Interview was purely personals.
Interview was strictly of the pattern where the interviewer keeps asking instances where you demonstrated certain qualities, had to work under pressure, had to handle a tough situation etc.
The questions that had to be filled out as part of the online application form were reviewed in detail during the interview. I stuck to the same answers that I had given to the questions while filling out the form, though I believe that they are open to other answers too if you'd like that.

Declined Offer – Reviewed May 17, 2013 New

Interview Details I applied through their website after hearing about it at a career fair. When submitting the application you are given a reasoning test. Then should pass the test you are asked for a phone interview with either some working full-time in CBD or an HR rep. They take your test scores and interview into consideration and then you submit to the final round which is a two visit to their headquarters in Cincinnati. There is another reasoning test, 2 on 1 interview and a tour of the building. After a certain amount of time they will inform you of whether you were given an offer or not.

Supply Chain Full Time Position at Procter & Gamble

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Singapore (Singapore) – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New

Interview Details I received the call for the first interview three months after the reasoning test. The second and third interview were then arranged in the following two months. All three interviews were all one-to-one with a manager. The interviewers were kind and open. The questions they asked shows that they were interested in a person's personality and ability instead of knowledge or skills. They were looking for the most suitable persons instead of the best. SDS sheets gave them the foundation to ask questions, but more questions might be asked based on your answers. I found the three interviews a bit similar, so the first interview would give a lot of hints for the rest.

I got the offer 40 days after my last interview.

Interview Question – 1. SDS questions
2. How to deal with culture diversity, conflict, challenges...?
3. Why P&G? Why PS?
4. Talk about your family and your hobbies.
5. Your plan in 10 years' time?

Consumer & Market Knowledge Internship at Procter & Gamble

No Offer – Interviewed in Geneva (Switzerland) Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New

Interview Details The online application process included a reasoning test that consisted only of figural reasoning questions. These questions were quite demanding and much harder than the ones provided in the sample test from the P&G website. On the recruitment day at their regional headquarters in Geneva we had another reasoning test that was more like the sample test. The test was followed by three one-hour interviews, all with the same five questions. These questions were, however, modified slightly from one interview to the other.
