Interviewed Nov 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took a day)
Begin the day with an assessment... A VERY CHALLENGING logic reasoning, problem-solving, and pattern identification assessment! Then proceed to a panel interview, a group presentation, and a 1:1 interview. The two sets of interviews pose the same questions. They are classic behavioral interview questions (i.e., "Tell me a time when..."; "Give me an instance..."; etc.) based on the Company's core values. The presentation is on any topic of interest as long as it has business relevancy. Overall, a very thorough interview process and quite challenging.

Negotiation Details
There was no negotiating. But I heard the best things to pull if you need more money is to talk about the cost of living and also look at the national average for your degree if you are below that you can ask for more money as well.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2 weeks)
Right after submitting application online, it will ask you to take two tests: behavioral and logic. If you pass the test then you will get a phone interview. The phone interview is about 45 min and you can ask questions at the end. The phone interview questions are mostly questions like "Tell me about a time when...." They will also send you sample questions and tips for the phone interview. If you pass the phone interview you will fly to the headquarter for final interview with 2 P&G representatives.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Still awaiting contact from them. Applied online, took the skills test, and was given an interview about 3 weeks later. Was told of the interview the day before it was to occur on campus. Interview was very laid-back. All questions were behavior-based. Practice their star technique and you'll be fine.
