I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati, OH) in Feb 2011
Interview
Initially - Met recruiter at Career Fair on Wednesday, scheduled first interview by the end of the day. I had to complete a personality and reasoning test before the interview was locked in.
First Interview - Friday (2 days after Career Fair) on campus, basic behavioral questions. Interviewed with a Senior Manager in Supply Chain. He played it very cool so I was unsure how the interview was going.
Tuesday was notified that I had made it past the 1st interview and that I would be contacted to schedule the day visit to occur in a week and a half.
Day Visit- P&G puts an impressive amount of effort and resources into making this a very special trip. Each candidate gets their own P&G employee that takes you around the city, possible living situations, and then out to dinner and a very nice restaurant. My P&G handler was an amazing asset into preparing for the next day. After dinner I was dropped off at the hotel and ran into other candidates for drinks and interview prep. Reviewing behavioral questions was key to being ready for the next day.
My handler picked me up early in the morning to go out for breakfast, he initiated a mock interview that really helped me form complete responses using the CAR method. Once on the P&G campus, we met with the other candidates for a quick powerpoint intro followed by a more challenging reasoning/IQ test that included basic math, critical thinking, and pattern recognition. The 40 questions took nearly the entirety of the 65 minutes alloted.
Next up was the 3:1 interview, again behavioral questions and thanks to our prep the night before it went very well and it was very relaxed. Afterwards you meet up with your handler again and go out to lunch with P&G employees. After lunch there are two product presentations to get a better feel for the engineering challenges that are to be faced. At the end of the day a high up manager came in and offered me a position which I took on the spot.
P&G interviews their interns as if they are going for full time positions and as such they have a 95% graduation rate of intern to full time.
Whole process took 2 weeks and 2 days from initial meeting to job offer.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble
Interview
It was a slow process. Was 2 rounds, each was behavioral. I recommend researching on youtube the types of questions they'll ask, it was very helpful. I was told I got a final round then didn't hear back for 2 months. Ultimately got an offer. Everyone I interviewed with was very nice

I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati, OH)
Interview
The interview process was great! Typical behavioral questions, and they were curious about leadership, involvement on campus, etc. The interviewer was easy to talk to. They were interested in experience, and why P&G as well.

It was an hour-long online zoom interview which consisted of both competency questions where you give examples from your own experience and scenario-based questions where you explain how you would deal with a situation that they present you with.
