I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2014
Interview
First round interview was held on campus and comprised of your typical interview questions as well as behavioural questions. Many questions emphasized analytical skills, teamwork, working with challenges, relocation.
I received a call that afternoon for second rounds the next morning. Second rounds were taking the Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test (50 questions in 12 minutes) as well a second round roleplay interview. Roleplay interview was a great experience; was given a short case (customer/situation analysis) and then you and the GM recruiter pretended as if it was a sales call.

Tell us about a time you had to be analytical. What were you trying to solve and how did you go about solving it.

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.
