The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Cincinnati, OH) in Feb 2012
Interview
Interview was conducted by a panel of 4 people, one Controller, one Assistant Controller, and two Senior Analysts. It was a very informal interview that flowed much like a conversation with questions ranging from "What existing Kroger processes do you think need improvement?" to "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" After the interview I was given a fairly simple Excel skills assessment test where I had to walk the panel through the making of a pivot table to quickly find records in a large data set. Overall, interview was very laid back, and a pleasant experience.
