The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble in Apr 2010
Interview
first i had been looking for summer internships and applied to the big name companies so i applied online (background info plus reasoning test and personality test)...two weeks later, i found out P&G was going to be represented at my university at a career fair so i asked my mom all she knew about the company and did some online research and was prepared for the career fair but ended up talking to the rep for only a few minutes because of the mass number of students wanting to talk with him...received an email from the rep almost two more weeks later and had an initial phone interview...a week later, i received a phone call from someone in a specific dpt with an actual intern offer, had the phone interview with the senior researcher the next day who offered to fly me to Cincinnati before we had even hung up! i'll be flying to Cincinnati in one week!
most of the questions were behavioral and experience based, for example, tell me about your research experience, oh you had a research partner-if you ever had a problem, how did you solve it? what do you do outside of classes? i'd say definitely highlight leadership, time efficiency, and organization examples as well as well rounded-ness (i was able to expand on my volunteer teaching experience in Africa)
all the interviewers were friendly and kept stopping to ask if i had questions and laid back
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
did something ever go wrong in your lab? if so, how did you fix it?
5 rounds of interviews with questions directly from the P&G framework. Questions were not very challenging and can be prepared beforehand based on the P&G question format. The rounds increase based on levels of seniority , last round is the highest band.

I applied online. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
3 entrevistas com perguntas situacionais. Não necessariamente é cobrado experiência, mas importante ter um storytelling pra vaga que está aplicando. Mas as perguntas são muito padrão, do que se espera de uma entrevista

Question 1
Uma situação que você trabalhou em equipe pra resolver um problema
Online assessment, then three online interviews with different levels of seniority. Simple format for each interview, non technical questions. Feedback given at the end. Took a while to find out if I had passed each stage.
