Interview
The recruitment process takes a long time and is not transparant.
Sometimes you have to wait a few weeks before you know you are selected for the next round.
They didn't give me a reason why they refused me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the challenges the beer industry is facing?
How can you help us face them?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev in Apr 2014
Interview
After cv and cover letter you have the following steps:
1. Three tests: cultural fit, situational strength, verbal and numeric reasoning (more inductive reasoning though).
2. General interview: Why ABI, why the gmt, challenges of beer industry today, how can ou help the compnay dealing with these challenges. Very short, mine took about 15 minutes.
3.1. Strenghts based interview, mainly focused on your character and you as a person and what motivates you/gives you energy.
3.2. Business case where you're given information and need to introduce seasonal beers into a fictional market.
Currently waiting to hear back from my business case.
I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev
Interview
First rounds involve some online testing - not too much to worry about.
Afterwards short behavioral interview - Why ABI - Why you - Challenges of industry, followed by another telephone interview involving the business case (launch of seasonal products - a lot of information to go through so don't waste too much time on details).
Then the assessment day - which is a lot of fun. My assessment day consisted out of an individual interview, individual tests, and a lot of group dynamics testing (business game - beer journey). The most important thing is that you stand out - in a good way. Be friendly and polite but do not hesitate to express your opinion.
Final panel is intense. You will sit in front of four C-level managers who question your CV and your personality. Make sure to stay calm, don't get nervous, and be yourself. The managers are really friendly and just want to get to know you.
Got the offer - accepted it straight away. It's a long long, nerve-wracking process, so if you apply, make sure you're in it for the long haul.
