I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills
Interview
I got an interview through a friend of a friend that worked at the company. The initial interview was pretty short. The questions were heavily scenario-focused by weighted toward business-type situations, as opposed to work style, company fit, etc. I got a second interview the next day with a different person and took a Wonderlic and 4 other online assessments, but then didn't hear anything for almost two weeks, which was strange because up to that point their communication was really prompt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you had to implement a change and your coworkers were opposed to it. What was the change, how did people respond, and how did you handle their criticism?
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2025
Interview
- 2 on 1 for the first interview
1 of them was asking questions and 1 of them was taking notes. Felt pretty intense, they never got back to me and said I would hear back after a week. I then reached out and they responded immediately saying I did not get the job.
Applied online and then interviewed over a zoom call. Straightforward and easy. Two rounds. Some online personality questions as well. Overall a good experience. Different interview lets each round both current employees.
