Step 1-2: I applied online and did an online multiple choice test (2 parts). The first part (~60 questions, no time limit) asked about past activities and what would you do if to test culture fit. You can read P&G values and principles to answer. Just remember that you don't want sell what you have, you want sell what they want to buy. These multiple choice questions are typically screened by computer so you also don't need to worry about not being yourself later. The second part was a logic test (15 questions, 2.5 minutes/question). They were not too difficult so you don't need an IQ of 200 but P&G has a mock test and there are free similar test online if you want to practice. Step 3: I passed step 2 and was informed after 1 week. In total 318 people passed and were divided into teams of 3 to do a business case over 10 days. It was about selecting 3 best projects among different proposals and teams had to schedule everything themselves. I talked with candidates (who passed this stage) from other teams and they chose different projects so there was no "1 correct answer". It depends on how you evaluate and explain it. Some knowledge of project management would be helpful though. Be warned that not all people in your team would stick around to work on the case since they probably also applied elsewhere and got an offer so don't procrastinate, you may have to do extra works. Step 4: 90 people passed the case were interviewed in the nearest IDS offices (may not in the same country you applied) to find 14 final winners. The interview started early so I and other candidates from other countries had to stay a night before (P&G reimburse travel cost but accommodation cost is on you so don't book a 5 star hotel room; I also doubt that they would reimburse if you come in by a jet). First thing on the interview day was a logic test on paper (~40 questions, 1 hour) similar to the online test. I passed and had an 1:1 interview. The interview was limited to 1 hour, ~50 minutes for behavior questions like "a time when you led a team" and ~10 minutes to ask questions. You can find more questions from other reviews since P&G use pretty much a standard list to interview. When it was my turn, I asked what characteristics are P&G looking for. The answer was standard PR stuffs like hire the people and not hire the degree. I said I did a research on previous years' winners and 71% of them studied in prestigious schools (ARWU, THE, QS lists). The interviewer said I was wrong and my data was incomplete. I argued back but felt the atmosphere was heating, I switched to an easy question to end the interview. Afterwards all candidates had a lunch together with IDS people to talk about life in P&G. Result: I was rejected. Self evaluating, I didn't answer well and after having lunch with IDS people, I think I was too aggressive when asking (P&G often recruit straight out of college and employees stay for many years, most of IDs people have been there for years and some are up to 20 years). Thus they may prefer someone more sheep-like who can take orders better and didn't bark back. I analyzed 2015 winners to compare with my prior research and the results are: Studied in prestigious schools: 71% (past winners) vs. 75% (2015 winners) Age: normal distribution centered at 23 (past) vs. normal distribution centered at 24 (2015) - the hire young idea was confirmed in the lunch meeting Working/intern experience in a 1 billion+ revenue company: 39% (past) vs.42% (2015) (percentage of those worked in smaller companies differed though) Master degree level: 52% (past) vs. 50% (2015) (rest was bachelor, no PhD) Country of origin: since the 2015 host Italy has significantly more winners (6) compare to the next country (2 winners), I suspect the host country has more slots but there wasn't enough past data to confirm this. Other criteria like gender, volunteering activities seem to have little influence. (Sample: 31 winners from 2008 to 2014, data retrieved from their LinkedIn profile) Officially P&G look for "leadership, mastery, agility" but my numbers showed that studied in a famous school, in your early 20s, worked in a big company are advantages.Either these correlations have common underlying causes (maybe these schools have better leadership teaching) or there are direct causations. While not 100% correct, I'd say the first data predicted reasonably close. Even if knowing these statistics won't change your odds, be informed your success chance helps you to decided whether to invest further or take up another opportunity. I did my homework, knew my odds and took the chance because I felt the reward worth the risk but It's up to you to decide your case. If you read this review, probably you are doing your research so I hope it helps :)
