I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev (Saint Louis, MO)
Interview
Five rounds, first is culture test, next two are logical reasoning tests, the next is an hour long Skype interview and the last round is being flown out to St. Louis for on-site interview. The on-site interview lasts 45 minutes with 5 other candidates in the room. On total you have about 5 minutes to actually talk about yourself or answer questions they ask which is just ridiculous. They dont tell you prior to that the entire interview is just 45 minutes so I spent 5 hours just sitting in the airport waiting for my flight on the way back home. They don't offer any reimbursement for lyft rides to and from the airport nor meals at the airport (ending up spending $120 out of pocket for Lyft and food) . Honestly an overall terrible experience, seems like their HR department doesn't care about you. Unsure how a company is supposed to get to know you in 5 minutes in a room with other candidates when everyone is so nervous to begin with (a new environment for many of us). I would have expected much better from AB.

Question 1
What 10 principles do you align with best and why?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online, was selected to take a logic/personality test online. Passed that, had a skype interview scheduled. The software they used was nice because you could test your camera and see your interviewers' names ahead of time. The interviewers seemed to be playing good cop/bad cop so it was very hard to read whether I was doing well. Was invited to St. Louis for an on-site interview, where I was with ~15 other candidates that were split into groups of 5. Got an email on saturday night to fly out sunday and interview on monday with no notice. I thought my delayed travel information was a mistake, but it turned out that they gave everyone the same notice (maybe to test how you respond to stress and if you can/will sacrifice for the company?). Each group of 5 was interviewed on a panel where 5 interviewers asked questions that were either direct (Jane Doe tell me about project X that you did at company Y) or general and open to anyone. Everyone got a phone call within 24 hours letting them know if they got an offer or not.

Question 1
If we had a million dollars to invest, what would you pitch to us? How would it be profitable and beneficial for AB?
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev (Saint Louis, MO)
Interview
There were many steps - from online application, career fair at my campus, info session, networking event, then came the online montage interview. This was so much easier than other interviews, its the basic "tell me a time when" and "why do you want to work for us" but the ladies who interviewed me were so nice and wanted to know me other than just my scholarly side. After this I heard that I had the chance to fly to St. Louis for a panel interview - I was terrified. Got there and met my group that I would be interviewing with (yes its a group interview). Turns out this group was amazing and I believe we were all offered the job! Don't be competitive with them, I believe that they saw we got along and liked each other so that actually might have helped. Work off each other's questions, and don't be afraid to brag a little. The questions I was asked I don't think had a right or wrong (minus red flag answers, don't do that). It is a little intimidating once you're in there, because this is the company's VP's but they crack jokes with each other and have fun, so that levels the mood. Just be confident and whatever you do - DONT BUDGE ON YOUR ANSWERS. They don't want you flip-flopping, if you answer wrong, defend it and say something like "I would work with my associates on the best path through".
