I applied through college or university. I interviewed at General Mills in Oct 2014
Interview
Went through university recruiting process. I had attended a career fair and talked to the recruiter and left my resume. I was contacted about their Meet & Greet session and was invited to apply to the position. I went to the mandatory information session that they had the night before the first round interviews. That night I got invited to the second round which was the next day. I also had to take their deductive reasoning test and personality assessments. Their deductive reasoning test was the hardest thing I ever took. Extremely frustrating and I think that preparation is definitely needed. Both interviews are behavioral. Unfortunately I was not invited to the final round that would have been at one of their business centers. Great people though and smooth process!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions weren't too difficult. Use the STAR method and really prepare for any question. They ask all types of questions in both interviews.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2025
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.
