I applied for a CMK Associate Manager position for Geneva. I passed the online assessment test that only consists of figures (finding patterns across figures) as well as a personality assessment test which measures your skills and capabilities in certain personality areas (e.g., leadership, agility). After I passed the online test, I received an invitation for a conference call with one of the senior managers at the CMK department. It was supposed to be 1 hour interview, but it took 1:45 minutes. My interviewer was very friendly, he even gave constructive feedback during the interview. After two days, they told me that I passed the initial interview and that I am invited for the final interview in Geneva. After one week, they flew me to Geneva and the day started with a reasoning test at the P&G office. The test was just as difficult as the practise test, just longer. For math, there are quite some travel, equations and percentages questions. And figures are as in the online assessment. Verbal questions are long but easy to comprehend and answer. After waiting in the room, the woman came back and told me that I passed the test and that I can continue to the last two interviews. After having lunch at the P&G office, I had two interviews with three people from the CMK department. Again, the questions were almost exactly the same as the first phone interview. So I answered very confidently and even in more structured manner than the first interview. I had a very very positive feeling about the interviews and was confident that I had a high chance in getting this position. However, the next day I received an automatic rejection email. I contacted the HR for feedback as I could not understand why I was rejected, and she told me as per company policy they cannot give feedback. So all the efforts ended with an automatic rejection email and no feedback from the interviewers.
