Application Advice:

Study the structure of Danone's roles and gain an idea of what you want to do in the future. You can watch short videos featuring employees that outline their job, and it goes on to tell you how far they've progressed to the present day. Research what the company does in the industry and prepare some real-life examples and scenarios to demonstrate your interest and knowledge of the company.

Interview Advice:

Be direct, be 'human', and be realistic with your answers when it comes to the competency based questions. Refer to how you handled each scenario by touching upon the CODE as you will be gauged on how much you're showing these values throughout the interview. Don't just focus on one situation or work experience when you are questioned on what you have done, keep an open mind and constantly make an effort to show engagement and interest. In the end that you're not just here for a role but want to make a difference.

Interview Advice:

Competency based questions around the company principles of CODE (committed, open, door, empowering of others). Some questions are designed to see how quickly you think on your feet. However, there are no trick questions and the interviews are generally very pleasant.

Application Advice:

Read up on the company's "CODE" values, research the challenges the company is currently facing and try and tailor your answers to show how your skills can help the business achieve its goals.

Interview Advice:

It will be competency based so make sure you have lots of examples to hand to back up your answers. The way I did it was to make a list of all the things I've achieved or been proud of doing in previous work experience or at university and then try and group all of those into different areas, e.g. teamwork, working under pressure, times something hasn't gone to plan etc. This makes it much easier on the day when you're asked the question, "give me a time when you have had to xyz...".

Also make sure you're using the STAR answer method as it will really help you shape your answers.

Application Advice:

Danone are very focused on finding candidates who would fit with the Danone culture, and in particular can demonstrate behaviours and competencies against CODE (commitment, openness, doer, empowered). I would strongly recommend you highlight where you have shown these behaviours in any examples and make sure you really consider the culture and if it's the right fit for you before you apply!

Category Management Assistant, Category Management at Danone
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Make sure you give a true representation of yourself - if you don't, it will become obvious at interview anyway!

Also, make sure you practice the numerical and verbal tests online before you sit them. With a bit of practice they're not that tricky, but if you go into them cold, then the time pressure can make them seem harder than they are.

Interview Advice:

Think CODE. This will form the basis of every question (and therefore answer)! A good exercise is to have a think prior to the interviews of 2/3 great examples for each competency that can be easily adapted to fit the question. However, make sure you are actually answering the question!

Interview Advice:

Application Advice:

Make sure you're authentic when interviewing and during the group work because they are measuring how you work with people and on your own and so if you're being disingenuous you may find yourself at a company your not suited to.

Interview Advice:

No experience is too small to speak about, if it's relevant then use it as Danone aren't as concerned about what your background is but how you've learnt from your experiences and how that moulds the way you make decisions and act now.

Account Manager, Dairy Sales at Danone
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

I would say that as a business they do not expect you to be able to demonstrate really technical knowledge at the application stage. It is more important to be able to demonstrate key competencies related to the CODE behaviours
Also do not underestimate the mathematical and verbal reasoning tests- practice them!

Interview Advice:

I would say it's important to just relax. As a company Danone is not particularly corporate and the interviewers really want to get the best out of you, so be professional but also be yourself.
The interview (when I applied) was a competency based interview so to prepare think about examples where you have demonstrated key competencies related to the company values and behaviours.

Assistant Brand Manager, Medical Marketing at Danone
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Who you are and your potential and attributes are so much more important than experience here, so never has 'be yourself' been more apt advice! Our core competencies and CODE behaviours really are key at Danone, not just an HR strategy, so think about those.

Make sure you let your personality come through. Danone offices have a real vitality and they get a lot of applications, they're looking for someone who'll fit in and feel at home, not just the most intelligent/talented person they can find, as it's a place where if you have the right attitude and temperament you can flourish.

This is not the right application to be copy and pasting from other forms. The company is not faceless, it's all about individuals.

Interview Advice:

Be honest, if you don't think you have a relevant experience think what you can talk about that's close, or shows it in a different way and explain that that's what you're doing. Not everyone has done everything!
The interview is based entirely around being CODE (Committed, Open, Doer, Empowered). So bear these in mind and make sure you check out the definitions online beforehand.
Try and relax, my interviewer made me feel like I could stop panicking and start being myself, and I think that process of settling and relaxing benefitted my inertview performance hugely.

Application Advice:

Be yourself - be honest and open. Danone looks for people people as it is a relationship business, but don't put this on. Be enthusiastic and really want the job.

Interview Advice:

Standard competency questions are used, but surrounding Danone's CODE (Committed, Open, Doer, Enthusiasm) so make sure you have examples of how you demonstrate these. Research FMCGs and also the specific Business Unit (Water, Dairy, Baby, Medical) in the market.

Application Advice:

Be yourself! Danone is not your average corporate entity; it's about developing who you are, they don't want a rigid, souless person. Make sure you research CODE as Danone's values are heavily tied up in this and if you don't think you match then perhaps Danone isn't for you.
Also, make sure you research Danone and understand it's mission as well as its competitors; commercial acumen can really set you apart from the rest.

Interview Advice:

Prepare for a:
- competency based interview
- SWOT analysis
- Numerical & Verbal Reasoning Tests
- Group exercise
