Lol - maybe an explanation why? I don’t want to “refer” a consultant or auditor or whatever you do at EY to my partner/HR/finance team/… if it’s just to cold call.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at General Mills (Mumbai)

Interview

The technical interview was a challenging yet enlightening experience. As I walked into the room, a sense of anticipation and nervousness enveloped me. The interview panel was composed of knowledgeable professionals who greeted me warmly, immediately putting me at ease. The questions ranged from fundamental concepts to complex problem-solving scenarios. I was asked to code on a whiteboard, analyze algorithms, and explain my thought process clearly. While some questions tested my theoretical knowledge, others pushed me to think on my feet and apply practical skills. Throughout the interview, I maintained a calm demeanor and communicated my ideas effectively. When I encountered difficulties, I asked clarifying questions and discussed potential solutions with the interviewers, showcasing my problem-solving skills and willingness to collaborate. In retrospect, the interview challenged me in ways that highlighted both my strengths and areas for improvement. It was a valuable learning experience, and I left with a sense of accomplishment, regardless of the outcome.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Boston, MA) in Aug 2023

Interview

Hiring manager and then a few people from the New England team I think. The manager was very inexperienced, said she hasn’t managed a team for a year yet. The team members were nice and friendly but they seemed miserable. Then I met with the hire up sales manager for the north east. She was very condescending and rude, it was a huge red flag. I could tell she had little experience managing people as well. I left feeling that the culture is pretty awful and the manager seemed like a micromanager. It was not my best experience. I declined their offer.
