There were 2 rounds for the interview. The first interview was with HR. The second interview was with the manager I would be working under. Since it was for an internship, questions mainly revolved around a more in-depth explanation of my background (previous internships I had also done) and why I wanted to intern at Mars. For the second and final round, it was less an interview and more an explanation of my expected role as a part of the team.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online via LinkedIn, and then got an invite for an online interview on Microsoft Teams. It was conducted by one interviewer and a talent organizer. The process was very fair. My supervisor is local, but the local talent recruiter isn't based in Kenya. It was a very smooth process.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • In your previous role, how did you contribute to the company's growth?
  • What kind of problems were you able to resolve in your previous role?
