I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Avon (Johannesburg) in Nov 2013
Interview
You first have the phone interview with HR. Then you come through to head office for a numerical test with an 80% pass requirement. If you pass you are interviewed by the Demand Planning Manager. This is partly competency based with industry and method based questions. There is also a on the spot insight into their specific business and how you would plan.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Avon (New York, NY) in May 2011
Interview
The interview process can be intimidating at first. The phone assessment is very detailed. You will have to use all your listening skills and compensation to ace it. They are look for the next Good to Great Manager. Someone who can deal with all personality types in field and the work place.
