Interviewed Oct 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
I met with a recruiter at a career fair through my university. After giving her my resume and applying online, I heard back from this recruiter several weeks later offering me an on-campus interview.
The interview was very negative for me, and not just because I was not offered a position. My interviewer was running behind schedule, so she rushed through our 1-1, cutting me off on several questions and filling in words she assumed I would say. It was really frustrating and she was unprofessional, even asking me "are you Hispanic" because of my appearance and that I listed Spanish and Portuguese language skills on my resume.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I initially met with GM representatives at a career fair on campus. They seemed impressed by my resume and experiences, so I pursued an interview with them a few weeks later. I attended a pre-night presentation about the company and was really excited about all of the benefits they offered. However, the interview itself was focused on purely negative behavioral interview questions (tell me about a problem you couldn't resolve, tell me about a time when things didn't go your way, tell me about a time when you struggled with a group, etc.). It made me feel like I didn't have the opportunity to show them my true strengths since little to no questions were framed in a positive way; as a senior in college (in an honors business program) I hadn't had that many negative experiences!

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Met General Mills at an on campus event. A few weeks later after applying, there was an invite only information session. A week later, first round interviews happened followed by second round interviews the day after that. After 2nd round interviews there was to be an office visit a month later. They really stress fitting in with their company. They also mentioned that it's not uncommon for their employees to interview 2 or 3 times before getting a position at General Mills so it definitely depends on who your interviewer is and how you connect with them. I spoke to the head recruiter and other representatives several times and they made it seem that it was a great fit but then had an interviewer who didn't really seem to try to get to know me as much as he did look at his laptop and follow a schedule of behavioral/situational questions. He also didn't seem to be prepared since he thought I was interviewing for an internship position versus a full time one even though there was a clear note from the head recruiter saying I was a full time applicant. There were multiple interviewers at my school and apparently each of them pick their favorite(s) interviewees and fill very few spots for 2 hour interviews the next day. Was really surprised and thought it was unprofessional they didn't notify me I didn't progress through the interview process.
Seems like a great company from when I was getting to know them at events and the information session. Got along with everyone pretty well except for my interviewer so that was unfortunate.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
Began with an information sessions. Then a typical 1st round behavioral interview. Then a 2nd round interview that was similar in nature to the 1st interview. Finally, I made it to final round interviews in their Eastern Business Center in Drescher, PA. I am currently an alternate candidate, so if the top offers are not taken, then I am next in line. Overall, a very smooth and organized interview process.
