I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Bentonville, AR) in Nov 2013
Interview
They came to my college campus, and they are very focused on quality leadership experience, GPA, and achievements. I was given a first round interview. Then they called me back for a second round interview + aptitude, skills, & personality assessments. Then I was selected for a final round interview, where I was flown to the office selected for me. There were 3 interviews for the final round. They try to keep interviews casual, though professional, so that you feel comfortable being yourself. You can be a very intelligent, accomplished candidate and not move forward or get an offer, simply because they are looking for people who fit the culture and/or who they can picture themselves working on a team with.

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.
