I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (São Paulo, ) in Jun 2010
Interview
Here are the steps i had to take and will take (I am being interviewed this week):
1) Applied online and sent my CV
2) Took two online tests: a Management Skills Test and an IQ Test
3) Received a Call inviting me to take the presential tests, that consisted of an IQ Test (math ang logic) and an English Test. Both could be considered pretty hard.
4) I received an e-mail congratulating me on my success and telling me to wait for the Interview to be scheduled.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble in Apr 2007
Interview
You start with an on-line test. Expect questions about your highschool achevements and how you rate yourself, e.g. top 5%. Rate yourself highly to "pass" the test. If you pass the test you will be invited to the office for an assessment test which will focus on economics and language skills, since 2009 there is also an additional mathematics test.
If succesful, you will have your first interview immediately after your assessment. The interview is about an hour long with 2 employees with different positions (and usually work experience) in e.g. Marketing or CBD.
They will rate you on Procter&Ganmble's succes drivers - found on career site.
If this is succesful you will be invited for a second round of interviews with top-management.
Spend time looking at the webste and formulating your succes drivers, be ready to have at least 3 examples of every sub-part of the succes drivers.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble in Jan 2007
Interview

Many situational questions, very long interview. Asks for numerous situations where I contributed to a team. Lead a group of people. ETC.
