6 Interview Rounds
Interview Questions
- Q1. What type of work culture do you prefer - startup or corporate?
- Q2. If offered an opportunity at AB Inbev, how likely are you to join the firm?
- Q3. Usual HR questions, detailed discussion on the analytics intern
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: It was an aptitude test. CAT level questions. The English Section was a bit tricky.
Tips: Some of the questions are time consuming. Skip them and answer the easy ones. They usually shortlist a lot of students for the nest round and if you solve the easy ones, you will stand a decent chance for the next round.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 30
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We basically used a SWOT analysis for this particular GD. Discussed the pros and cons in detail along with healthy arguments and counter arguments. They ended selecting half of our group.
Tips: Make relevant points. There is no need to start or the end the GD. Getting browny points for that is a myth, Make sensible arguments, have a healthy conversation. Also, if possible , speak to the other people of the GD in advance and plan out a startegy (which actually helped in our case)
Duration: 15 minutes
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: Began on a lighter note with the usual HR question. They asked for my introduction followed by the question "Why AB Inbev?". Later they stopped suddenly and asked about my previous interviews for the day, asked me what I wanted to discuss in the interview.
Further, I was critically examined on my analytics intern (was asked quite a few questions on Machine Learning).
Later on I was given a case study where in I was supposed to increase the revenue of Big Bazaar by offering the discounts on items, and use analytics to find the target customers. They checked my approach towards the problem, and wanted me to actually think about the problem from the perspective of an owner as well as a customer.
Tips: Don't bluff and keep a smile on the face. They are friendly but you either need analytics on your resume or be an awesome case study solver. Learn about the company in detail. They admire this a lot.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The final shortlisted candidates were called in pairs of two. The entire team interviewed us. They knew that I already 2 job offers and wanted me to make them believe about me not rejecting their offer.
Tips: Be natural and answer with a smile. A smile goes a long way.
Skills: Problem Solving Skills, Inter person communication skills, Anlatyical skills
