I applied through university. I interviewed at BAT
Interview
The whole process from application submission to first interview took about 10 days. First step involved telephone interview with HR. After clearing this round, it was followed by a face to face interview. Face to face interview experience was again enjoyable. Introduced to previous intern, analyst and head of department. Role was explained in detail and given ample opportunity to ask questions and clear any doubts. Questions concerned more introspective aspects than business or skills based evaluation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your career goals ?
Why this opportunity ?
Biggest weakness ?
It was okay. Not much to add as it was based on some past marketing work and their current campaigns. That's all. Didnt seem difficult so not sure on what basis the interview was conducted
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BAT (Tokyo)
Interview
Simple interview process. First with the recruiter, then a week later one with the person I would have reported to. Finally, I spoke with the person above that person. Overall, the experience was good and I have no problems.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BAT (Nairobi) in May 2025
Interview
The interview team makes you very comfortable and allows you to take your time. It made me relax. The questions require you to think and the interview team gave me that freedom to express myself.
