I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Anheuser-Busch InBev
Interview
Recruitment took place on campus. The process is a long, extensive one. First you send in your resume for initial screening. Then you take a personality and logical reasoning exam. Neither test is much to worry about. The first part the process becomes intense is the case study. You get 30 minutes to review a case about choosing seasonal beers based on production rates and margin. There's only a couple right answers so dig into the numbers as fast as possible. Just as important as getting the right answer is being able to explain it. Even if you don't fully know the perfect answer, you must be able to explain your thinking.
Next round was a simple 2 on 1 behavioral interview. Then they fly you in for a business simulation. I actually had a lot of fun at this round. You make decisions on what to put money into for your beer company each quarter and then get results on your performance. You compete against the other candidates in groups. Then the final round is the panel interview. This was quite interesting. You cannot really prepare for this round because the member of the panel don't ask any standard interview questions, and they don't have a script. They go right after what they see is your greatest weakness. They are really good at that, but they are fun about it so don't be stressed out. It's a fun process, but a long one so if you are going for it, be ready for the long haul.

Interview
AB-Inbev has an extensive interview process. The process for the GMT consisted of four rounds. First you apply online through your University's portal. If you are selected after that you are contacted to do a case interview which consists of analyzing a scenario based on information in a packet. If you get past that the next step is a standard behavioral interview. The third round is an onsite tour where you are placed in a group with other candidates to play a sort of competitive strategy game. After that, the final round is panel day, where candidates answer questions from AB executives.
