The internship
Past interns analysed “a new Pampers product launch” and created “a new TikTok strategy for Herbal Essences”. P&G says “Successful interns have the potential to secure a full-time position with P&G after graduation.”
The graduate role
“There are no rotational programmes or gradual on-boarding here.” P&G says that from Day 1 “you could lead one of our most loved brands with a multi-million-pound marketing budget”.
Where these facts come from
- Internship pay. The 2027 internship ad says “The monthly salary for this summer internship is £2,625.” Read on 19 October 2026. It adds a pension option, flexible working, a “Flex4Me” fund, equipment and help with travel if you relocate.
- Graduate pay. P&G states no pay for a brand graduate role. Its live Sales and Engineering graduate ads give a salary, but that is not a brand figure. Compare salaries in the UK.
- Dates and place. The internship runs “from 5th July 2027 until 10th September 2027” at the UK head office in Weybridge, Surrey.
- The retake rule. P&G’s hiring FAQ says a candidate who does not pass “must wait 12 months before retaking it”.

05/10Stage 2 · Online tests
PEAK and the Interactive Assessment
P&G names two online tests: the PEAK Performance Assessment and the Interactive Assessment. The internship ad says only “Online Assessments”. You may be asked to take one or both.
20-60 min
P&G’s range for the tests
Computer
Some parts need a desktop or laptop
30 days
Usual wait for results, by email
P&G says “you may be directed to take one or more of our online assessments”, and “Some sections are timed” (hiring process page). “For most roles, assessment results automatically determine whether a Candidate’s application may move forward”. P&G names no test provider.
The PEAK Performance Assessment
About 20 minutes
Four sections. P&G’s video says it is “not timed”, and you can save and come back later.
Two kinds of question
Multiple choice, and statements you rate on a sliding scale. Every item is mandatory.
No going back
Once you submit a section, you cannot return to it.
Answer as yourself
“There are no right or wrong answers.” P&G asks you to “make sure your answers accurately describe you”.
Nothing to study
“There are no knowledge based questions here, so nothing you need to study.”
From P&G’s PEAK page and its Assessment Prep video, checked 19 October 2026.
The Interactive Assessment
About 30 minutes, timed
It is there to “help P&G learn more about your reasoning skills”. You cannot go back.
Exercise 1: about 6 minutes
Fill the gaps in an equation with the digits 1 to 9, each used once. Multiplication comes first. A lock icon moves you on.
Exercise 2: about 6 minutes
Four symbols pass through a tube. Pick the branch whose number code explains their new order. It tests your “ability to draw logical conclusions”.
Exercise 3: about 12 minutes
Three rounds of about 4 minutes. Remember where 2 to 5 dots appear while you do a second task, such as spotting a mirror image. Then recall the dots.
It adapts to you
P&G’s video says it “uses computer adaptive testing”. Harder questions do not mean you are doing badly.
A possible check later
P&G may verify your result “under supervised conditions”.
From P&G’s Interactive Assessment page, which has a worked example for each exercise. Checked 19 October 2026.
The test rules: allowed and banned
Allowed
- Preparing with P&G’s own guides and examples
- A desktop or laptop computer
- Adjustments, if you ask before you start
- Saving PEAK and coming back later
Banned
- Help from another person while you test
- AI tools during the tests or interviews
- Your browser’s Back or Refresh in the Interactive Assessment
- Translation software or coaching services in interviews
P&G encourages “the use of available tools to help you prepare”. It also says breaking its no-help rule “is grounds for rejection” (hiring process page).

06/10Stage 3 · Interviews
P&G’s behavioural interviews
P&G runs behavioural interviews, one-on-one or panel. For the internship they are virtual, with “managers working in the business you have applied for”.
45 to 60 minutes
“Most interviews last around 45-60 minutes, but there are no strict time limits”.
Often a panel
P&G’s guide says a panel has 2 to 3 interviewers.
No set number of rounds
“There is no set number of interview rounds”, says P&G’s FAQ.
They read your CV first
P&G’s guide says interviewers review your resume before you meet.
Your chance to ask
P&G calls the interview “your opportunity to find out about us”.
From P&G’s hiring process page, hiring FAQ and the internship ad, checked 19 October 2026.
How to answer: P&G’s Context, Actions, Results
P&G’s interview guide asks you to shape each answer in three parts. It says to “Help the interviewer understand WHY you acted in a certain way.”
P&G’s FAQ themes: be ready to talk about
Solved problemsWorked with othersManaged challenges or conflictDelivered results
See also our guides on how to pass a job interview and the toughest interview questions.
Practise: P&G’s questions and ours
P&G’s example questions
P&G’s four example questions, from its hiring process page. The tips come from P&G’s FAQ and interview guide.
Conflict
“What would you do if you had a conflict with a team member?”
What P&G says
- P&G’s FAQ lists “Managed challenges or conflict” as a theme. Use a real case, and say what you did and why.
Delivery
“If you were given a difficult project, how would you ensure its success?”
What P&G says
- “Delivered results” is another theme. Back your plan with a time you did it, and end with what came of it.
Something new
“Give an example of a time when you created something new.”
What P&G says
- P&G’s guide says examples can come from any part of life, such as volunteering or clubs. Give the context briefly, then your actions.
Teamwork
“Tell me about a time when you worked with others.”
What P&G says
- “Worked with others” is a theme in P&G’s FAQ. Say what you did, not only what the team did, and how big the result was.
Questions built from P&G’s ad
Our own questions, not P&G’s. Each one is built on a line from the 2027 internship ad.
Proud of
Tell us about something you’re proud of outside your studies.
Why we ask it
- The ad says “Tell us what you’re proud of”. Pick one thing and give its result.
Leadership
When have you led a group to a result?
Why we ask it
- The ad asks for “Demonstrated leadership skills”. Show how you got others to act, not just your title.
Analysis
Tell us about a time you used data to make a decision.
Why we ask it
- The ad asks for “strong analytical capability” and for using data “to drive real business results”. Name the number that changed your mind.
Brands
Which P&G brand would you like to work on, and what would you change?
Why we ask it
- P&G’s brand page calls brand managers “a total business owner”. Think about consumers, sales and data, not only adverts.

07/10Stage 4 · Offer
Offers, the internship and the Academy
For the internship, the offer comes after the interviews. The ad names no assessment centre.
Offers, all together
In the 2026/27 cycle, the ad says offers go out at the end of December 2026. They come “once all candidates have been processed”.
Right to work checked at the end
P&G checks your evidence “at the conclusion of the recruitment process”.
10 weeks on a brand
Past interns worked on a Pampers launch, Gillette on Amazon and a TikTok plan for Herbal Essences.
Then a graduate offer, maybe
P&G says interns may “secure a full-time role straight away or come back to us when you finish your studies”.
From the 2027 internship ad and P&G’s UK early careers page, read on 19 October 2026.
The graduate route: the last archived brand ad
The last brand graduate ad we could find archived is from the 2023/24 cycle. It ended with the P&G Brand Career Academy, held on 4 to 6 December 2023.
P&G called the Academy “the final step in our application process to secure yourself a graduate role with P&G!” There, “you will work on a real brand case study covering all aspects of business including a presentation to a board of directors at P&G, followed by a final interview.” From the Marketing Graduate Role 2024 ad, saved on 2 October 2023.
P&G’s live 2027 Sales and Engineering graduate ads also end with an in-person Academy, with a case study, a presentation and a final interview.
08/10
Visa sponsorship
Our reading: P&G does not say how its right-to-work lines apply to a brand graduate role. So ask P&G before you apply if you need a visa.
The Brand Management Summer Internship 2027 ad asks for “your own right to work in the UK for the full duration of your internship without requiring sponsorship from P&G”. It must be valid “between 5th July 2027 until 10th September 2027”. Read on 19 October 2026.
P&G’s Sales Graduate Role 2027 ads ask for “your own, continuous (i.e. not time limited) right to work in the UK from Day 1 of employment”. Read on 19 October 2026.
The Graduate visa
- How long it lasts. “2 years if you apply on or before 31 December 2026” and “18 months if you apply on or after 1 January 2027” (GOV.UK).
- Our reading. A Graduate visa can cover the internship if it is valid for its dates. It is time-limited, so it may not meet the Sales line above.
Need sponsorship? See our guides to UK companies that sponsor visas and staying in the UK after studying. This is general information, so check GOV.UK.
