      Research and Development Food Scientist Interview

      10 Apr 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at General Mills in Sept 2015

      Interview

      Interviewers did a visit to our department and conducted onsite interviews the next day. There were two interviewers and they were friendly and pleasant to talk to but the interview questions themselves were slightly difficult. The next stage would have been an onsite interview in Minneapolis. Overall, a positive experience.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at General Mills in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I had an on campus interview. They had several behavioral questions as well as some very technical questions. The interview was two employees. I would definitely recommend studying your notes before this one. It was a challenging interview, but one that definitely better prepared me for the future.
