I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mars (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2012
Interview
I had an on-campus interview first followed by an on-site interview a couple of weeks later. The on-site interview consisted of three parts. The first consisted of a case-study that had to be presented by a team; they had us team up with other candidates and the interviewing panel witnessed our team dynamics and problem-solving for about 30 minutes. The second part was an individual presentation on a topic I was provided the evening before. I only had 20 minutes to present + 10 minutes Q&A. The third part was an individual interview with 4 team members, who would be 2 peers and 2 senior managers.

Tough process as the tests were value based. Three or four interview rounds. Case study was given to check your business .acumen and ability to think critically. Great experience new format of interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Mars in Jul 2023
Interview
Received an email requesting a day and time for a phone interview. Confirmed the day and time and time zone. NEVER received a phone call at the mutually agreed upon on time. NEVER received a response to my follow up email asking if we needed to reschedule. Waste of my time and what a disappointing experience.
