I applied online. I interviewed at General Mills (Golden Valley, MN) in Jun 2017
Interview
Initially had a brief 15 minute phone interview, the in person interview was long, approximately 4 hours. I met with 3 managers, 1 team member, 1 HR assistant, 1 team specific HR member and 1 IT HR manager. All interviews were in 30 minute blocks with the exception of 1 team member (1 hour) and the 1 HR assistant (15 minutes).
The HR manager questions could have and I would recommend, should be combined. All 3 asked predominately the same questions, each had 1 or 2 different questions. The opportunity to spend time with the team member was wonderful, I was taken on a tour of the Corporate Offices in Golden Valley, he answered questions I had regarding culture, career opportunities etc.
The interview portion with the team specific HR member was not very beneficial and again I would recommend removing that portion from the interview process as the HR manager provided a much clearer insight into HR related questions.
Overall a very positive experience, just a little too lengthy, which could easily be resolved.

Overall, it was a quick process. Expectations were clear on how they expected the interview to go. It wasn't necessarily easy, but it wasn't the hardest interview I've experience. Come prepared to answer questions in a professional and succinct way.

I was rushed through the interview process and didn't get to talk to many cross functional partners to understand the role better. The recruiter was outwardly rude when I asked questions about the role.
