      Leadership Development Program Interview

      21 Jan 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Oakville, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tim Hortons (Oakville, ON) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      1. Brief Phone call 2. Online interview 3. 3 hour Interview in person at the headquarters (or over Skype). The first part is a behavioural interview and the second part was a case. 4. Team Simulation - after the simulation is complete, they only move about half of the interviewees forward to the next step of the interview process. They do this on the same day, so some people have to leave while others have to spend hours waiting for the panel interview 5. 4 on 4 panel interview with Executives from the company. The panel interview was extremely intimidating and the interviewers were quite rude...They constantly pinned the interviewees against each other and communicated a very cut-throat corporate culture in the company

      Leadership Development Program Interview

      20 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Oakville, ON
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tim Hortons (Oakville, ON) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      Round 1 is a short phone interview. It's pretty standard and I think almost everyone passes round 1 as long as there are no major red flags. Round 2 is a behavioural Skype interview. Since most people are ready to answer questions about items on their resume, they twist it a little bit and ask about your high school experience instead of university experience. Be quick and natural and you'll be fine. Round 3 is another Skype interview, more on the technical side. I got a case on pricing Timmies products but it was probably the easiest case I've ever seen (and I'm not even experienced in cases). There is some basic math involved, but it's VERY basic. The final product recommendation was super easy, it was the option that was the cheapest and had the highest revenue. TLDR it's easy. Round 4 is super day at their Oakville HQ. Morning starts with a review of RBI, tour, etc. Round 1 of the day is literally a business game where you work in a group of 4, each group is in charge of a different region (AP vs. North America, etc) and each region has different criteria for growth, price elasticity, etc. There are 4-5 round, and each round you can change price, ad budget or a couple of other factors and they have a simulator that gives you the results of your changes. If you do terrible on the game, it doesn't mean you're out but it does count against you a bit. Just make sure you can justify your answers and even if you screw up, make sure you explain why you think that happened. After that it's lunch and then after lunch they cut 1/3-1/2 of the applicants. Final round is a rapid fire panel with Tim's C-level execs (CEO, CMO, CFO). Key is to keep your calm, and explain your answers. It was actually not as scary as people make it and I had fun doing it. There is the classic "who would you hire/fire on the panel question". All in all process was pretty fun, recruiters were nice and I learned a lot.
