Interviewed Oct 2011 in Oakland, CA (took a day)
I was asked to come in for an interview, but the interviewer seemed completely disinterested. Not only did he keep me waiting for 20 minutes, but he clearly hadn't read my resume and rushed the interview as much as possible. The entire experience came across as if he knew he wasn't going to offer me the job even before he shook my hand. This not only meant he was wasting his time, but he was also wasting mine.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Naperville, IL (took a day)
I interviewed with a brand manager. For every question he asked, he would ask another question to clarify why I answered as I did and then he would question why I did not answer a different way. He ended the interview questioning if I was able to live in either Naperville, IL or Omaha, NE, where the brand manager jobs are located.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 3 weeks)
I went to a career fair at school and received an interview the day after. Prepared for the interview and thought I did fairly well. Waited 3 weeks for the phone call back, and was rejected. They did seem very nice. However, the process was fairly long and I could not gauge how well I did in the interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Omaha, NE (took a day)
The interview was very detailed and a full day (8:00 am - 4:30 pm), meeting with 8 different people. I thought it was a great opportunity to meet the people I would be working with and to put my best foot forward. It is very important to prepare, do as much research as possible. Learn about ConAgra's position as a company and our portfolio of brands. Do your best to understand current Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry trends that could be impacting ConAgra. With such a detailed and extensive interview process the candidates who are prepared will obviously stand out.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 6 months)
I met with ConAgra recruiters in early fall 2010 during a career-fair on campus. I had an interview the day after meeting the recruiters and it went extremely well. The interview lasted roughly an hour and I received great feedback throughout it. Three days after the interview I received a call from the recruiter, telling me that she was " extremely impressed" and wanted to tell me of " of ConAgra's intention to offer you a position". Naturally, I was thrilled and excited for my next round of interviews.
Fast forward 6 months with little-to-no contact, and a horribly conducted phone interview in which I was informed of Omaha's polite automobile driving mannerisms and some really strange football facts. I had a final interview in March conducted via telephone, which I felt went extremely well. I was supposed to hear back within 5 days. Again, fast forward about 10 days. I get a voicemail out of the blue from the original recruiter telling me that they were again extremely impressed, but felt that my background in entrepreneurship was my true passion and that it would be bad for the company if they took me on. I was shocked that after 6 months of positive feedback, founded on the promise of a position, I would be turned down based on my accomplishments. I think it is extremely unprofessional for them to admit that as well.
Based on this whole experience I am sure that had I worked at ConAgra, I would have had a terrible time.
To sum it up: slow communication, false promises, and a terrible phone interviewer that (aside from talking about driving and football) basically told me he wanted someone to make him look good before the board at a corporate presentation.
The recruiter that I met at the career fair really did seem like a nice person, who truly thought that I was getting a position. I can only assume that the terrible communication within the company ( which is a comment frequently found in reviews by employees) had something to do with the prolonged process.
