I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Dec 2018
Interview
After initially accepting my resume, there was a phone interview with a manager outlining the role, benefits, and expectations where after there was a typical interview consisting of behavioral questions. After, there were 3 assessments for behavioral/cognitive purposes while the final interview in-house was being set up. Had a fantastic and efficient outing at the headquarters where after 2 interviews with managers in the same functional area, I was walked out by an HR manager and given some more information and a little gift basket. Questions were formal and what one would expect interviewing for a role like this. Thoughtful!
