I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mars (Fayetteville, AR) in Mar 2015
Interview
University organized. Very laid back and easy to do. Two interviewers were accommodating and not judgmental at all. Demonstrated they read my resume prior to me coming in, which I think shows that they take the time to care about who they are talking to prior to actually interviewing you
Good interview - basic questions asked to assess if you are a good fit for the role. Some scenario based questions as well as personality questions. Overall good experience and fair interview process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time where you had to go against a team decision. How did you approach it
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mars (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2015
Interview
1. Phone call with HR to discuss logistics.
2. Meet with hiring manager for behavioural style interview.
3. Meet with a panel to present a case study with 1 hour of prep, 30 minutes of presentation which includes Q&A and potentially additional behavioural style questions.
4. Meet with the General Manager for a final 1:1
The process overall was above average with respects to how stressful and challenging it was given there was multiple steps and a panel. Overall though I thought it was fair and allows the company to get a very good read into your communication and selling skills.

If your customer wants to delist several Mars products, how do you respond as an "unbiased" vendor advisor to drive the total category forward and ensure the impact to Mars is minimal?
