Pros

-Company very focused on training and developing talent. There are a lot of classes and programs in place to ensure that new hires are on-boarded quickly and effectively into the new organization.

Cons

General Mills can be a slow moving organization at times. A lot of emphasis on building consensus and influencing the organization through gradual change. Due to the matrix organization, there is a fair bit of politics that occurs when it comes to assigning new roles and impacting change.

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
