Entrevista
I found the position through LinkedIn and reached out to some fellow Alumni who also work in the Marketing Department at General Mills. I had some good conversations with them and decided I would like to apply. My resume was passed along and I was directed to apply online. After about 3 weeks I was emailed asking me to set up an initial phone screening. The phone screen was 20-30 minutes long with behavioral questions and the classic "walk me through your resume" question. A few days later I was emailed and asked to meet for a 2-3 hour interview at General Mills World HQ in Golden Valley, MN. Before that interview I was asked to complete a personality/behavioral assessment (300 Questions) and a Deductive Reasoning Test (18 Questions). Combined they took about 1 hour. I recommend practicing the deductive reasoning test as it was very challenging. Make sure to have a pen and paper on hand.
The day of the interview I was greeted by HR and then walked directly to my first of two 30-40 minute interviews. These interviews were structured similarly to the phone screen with behavioral questions and time at the end for you to ask questions.
After these two interviews I was given a goodie bag and sent on my way. I was told that I would know the outcome of the interviews in less than two weeks.
Overall it was an excellent interview process and I very much gained a strong appreciation for General Mills. I'll update later if I was given an offer.

I went through a multi-step interview process. After submitting my application online, I was contacted via email to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. The next round consisted of 3 one-on-one via Microsoft Teams: 15 min with the Talent Acquisitions Manager, 30 min with the HR Manager for the division, and 30 min with a Senior Marketing Manager for the division. In all interviews, I was asked situation and behavior-based questions. They want you to answer using the STAR method.
Overall, it was a good experience. Everyone was really nice and happy to answer all my questions along the way.

Standard behavioral questions. First phone interview with hiring manager and then invited in for more interviews. Before going to the in person interview, you have to take a personality test which was easy but took some time. Additionally, there is a reasoning test that was very hard, you only get 22 minutes to answer 20 questions.
