I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble
Interview
Applied through P&G's website/university career website--after taking a reasoning test online and a "drivers" test, I heard back within a few days that I had been accepted for a phone interview. The phone interview lasted 1.5 hours and my interviewer and I really connected well--he asked 9 behavioral questions and went into great detail for each one. Make sure you're well prepared to answer with any situation. 2 weeks later I got an invitation to the final CBD intern weekend in Cincinnati, OH.

Question 1
Provide an example of a time when you engaged with your environment and it paid off in a positive result.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble in Dec 2010
Interview
I found out about the internship through a club moderator at my University. I was put on a list of interested candidates, and then went and submitted my resume online. Other candidates said there was an intensive IQ-type test that they had to do online as well; I took the test a year ago applying for a summer conference with them so my test results had been saved. I received an email the next day asking to set up a phone interview.
I phone interviewed with an account manager for a little over an hour. Most of the questions were pretty basic, "tell me about yourself", "why P&G", "tell me about a time when.."-- they're about 90% behavioral. I felt like I really connected with my interviewer, so we small-chatted a bit and I think that really let her see my personality.
A few weeks later the same interviewer emailed me asking to set up another short phone interview, about 30 minutes. I think this was because our first conversation was cut off and she didn't ask all of her required questions. They were more behavioral questions.
A few weeks later I received an email inviting me to a conference in Cincinnati. All expenses were paid. It is a two-day conference with applying interns from all over the country. First night is just dinner and presentations. Next morning is an IQ test, tour, and 2:1 interview with more account managers and people involved in CBD. The interview is just more behavioral and pretty basic questions. I got a call the next day and accepted.

"Tell me about a time where you had to analyze a lot of data, create options, and how you chose your solution."

Interview
I first applied online, then received an invitation to take the "Skills Assessment" test. In a few days, I received a call about the upcoming "Screening Interview" which consisted primarily of 3 questions: tell me about a time when you demonstrated 1) "Power of Mind" 2) "Power of People" and 3) "Power of Agility".
In about a week after the interview, I received an invitation to Cincinnati, Ohio for the final step of the interview.
