CBD at Procter & Gamble
No Offer – Interviewed in Toronto, ON – Reviewed Nov 13, 2012
Interview Details
started off with the online screening process and then was asked to complete a written reasoning test in person. both tests were pretty easy, the only unexpected question required me to know the formula for the circumference of a circle.. The interview was conducted by 2 interviewers, one on the phone and one in person. Found the format a little awkward because it was hard to talk to the other person on the phone while maintaining eye contact and everything else with the interviewer that's in the room. Asked 3-4 questions.
From what I remember:
- the last question was, describe or tell us anything else that you would like us to know.
- a time when you had to teach someone something
- when you were required to fulfill an unmet need
-
Interview Question – Describe a time when you had insights from a lot of data... Answer Question

CBD Account Manager/Assistant Brand Manager at Procter & Gamble
No Offer – Interviewed in Toronto, ON Oct 2012 – Reviewed Oct 20, 2012
Interview Details Attended recruiting sessions on campus, then applied online. There was an IQ and reasoning test. They liked my resume and results and asked me in for an interview on campus. Prior to my interview, I had to do a second reasoning test at our campus career centre. The interview was done by 2 people who were very nice. They thanked me for coming and told me that they were going to ask behavioural/situational interview questions. They asked about 40 minutes of questions, and allowed for 10-15 minutes of questions for them. Overall, it was a positive experience, but unfortunately, I did not get the offer. I was very disappointed as I wanted to work for P&G very badly

Account Manager at Procter & Gamble
No Offer – Interviewed in Toronto, ON Oct 2011 – Reviewed Feb 28, 2012
Interview Details
I applied via the P&G website and was contacted several weeks later for an interview. Before the interview I had to do a skills test. I was very surprised about the format of the interview. It was myself and three women. When I entered the room, they didn't introduce themselves at all but immediately stated that they wanted situation-behavior-outcome responses to the questions they were going to ask. They asked questions according to their three rubrics and core competencies. The entire time I was talking, all three of them had their heads down and profusely writing my every word.
The questions were quite difficult. They asked very specific to very broad questions. One of them being, tell me about a time where you had to work with a set of complex data and how did you use that data to solve a problem?
