The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev
Interview
Very long but thorough interview process. AB InBev will truly evaluate you on every aspect. The total interview process (from application in December to offer in March) took 4 months but the job starts in September (so 8 months in total from application to starting the job). Take this into consideration if you are looking for a job that starts ASAP.
I declined the offer because I got another great offer that was more in line with what I wanted to do. But from the interview process I went through, the employees I talked to and the offer I received; ABinBev’s FTL program seems to be a great opportunity. A launchpad into the FMCG industry! Plus, beers vouchers are literally part of the job offer.
I could give many advice but most of them you’ll find them on Glassdoor. So to make it short:
- Learn the 10 principles by heart and know which one you agree with the most/less and why
- Train yourself for the games and logic stuffs before doing them for real
- Do your research on AB inbev and the industry trends
- During group interviews: try to make everyone speak within your team, take data driven decisions and do NOT try to be the leader at all cost, instead try to be flexible and a team player. And if you are presenting: be cool and smile. This is a beer company, not Goldman Sachs.
- Prepare yourself for behavioural questions (a lot). To do that, think of cool little stories that happened to you while you did an internship, a job, a group work or anything relevant. It does not have to be always fancy stories about fancy internships. If your story is about a time when you showed leadership while being a beekeeper in Romania or a maid at a local supermarket, so be it.
But my biggest advice is probably this one: be yourself. It may sound silly, but AB inBev is a big company, they have like 15,000+ business students that apply to their grad programs. They are probably sick of having presumptuous business school student trying to bullsh*t their way through the interviews. So try to reflect on this last advice. Good luck!!
