Procter & Gamble Account Executive interview questions

After the initial application is submitted, candidates are redirected to take an online assessment. Questions make statements such as “I consider myself a leader, but will also let others take over.” So your first thought is to put Inaccurate because you don’t want to say you let others take the lead, but then does that mean you don’t consider yourself a leader, which was the first part of the statement? Basically every question makes opposite statements and you have to put inaccurate or accurate. Not sure how you can answer correctly.... I received an email that I did not pass the assessment. Its computer generated (received email Sunday 2 AM) and it’s sad to me they don’t have a person review the assessment to see if an applicant missed the accurate/inaccurate questions due to wording issues and conflicting statements. It’s very odd to me that I recently got out of a very large University and was able to get all A’s in their Honors College but couldn’t pass this ‘simple’ assessment. Wording on these questions should be re-evaluated to avoid passing up over-qualified applicants.

After completing online application, I was contacted about two week's later for a phone interview with a member of the human resources department. The interview was a basic overview of my background. About two week's later I was contacted for another phone interview, this time with a manager on a customer team. The interview was more in depth, asking questions and looking for me to describe experiences that applied. Their interview technique is the "CAR" method, which is basically the same as STAR, so you should be familiar with answering questions in that format. Another two week's later I was provided an opportunity to travel to Cincinnati and do an in person panel interview, as well as take a reasoning test. I was there with a number of other candidates. We also had an opportunity to have lunch with a number of CBD team members where we could ask questions about P&G and the CBD team. The team promised to get back in about two weeks. A little over that time period I was contacted about an opportunity, which I accepted.
