P&G interviews follow the C-A-S formula.
They look for : Context, Action, Result
On your interview evaluation form, your interviewers will actually write out these letters and take notes for each part of the formula. They will probably also do that right in front of your which can be distracting.
As you tell your stories you must present your answers in this way or your interviewers will not no make a note and you will see blanks on your interview eval. They are very prescribed in looking for all three parts and are especially keen on looking for the result of your actions.
I found it to be disappointing that they were so rigid in their interview process since I have some entrepreneurial experiences that didn't quite match the formula and that was viewed negatively.
My interview was about 40 minutes and I got about 9 "tell me about a time" questions. I interviewed at one of the large career fairs and found my interviewers to be more interested in who was walking by and not maintaining eye contact with me.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Warsaw (Poland) (took 4+ weeks)
During the application process I had a positive impression of the company. People were professional and communication between us was good. My advice is nothing new: prepare very well! Use questions you can find on this website, most probably you will have very similar ones during the interview. Most of the questions asked are behavioral.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Sent in resume and took an online intelligence test. A few days later HR called to set up a phone interview. They were very nice and made me feel comfortable. When the interview day came I was interviewed by someone from HR and it lasted about an hour. All the questions were testing to see if I was a good leader and were all situational based, I did not end up moving on to the next process but will interview again once I get some more work experience.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
For a marketing position, you are interviewed by a marketing employee as opposed to a HR manager. They are really friendly and are looking for proof of leadership and ask questions to see how you think. They ask you to follow the "Context, Action, Result" formular when giving your answers
