I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Nov 2016
Interview
First round was on campus and consisted of standard behavioral questions as well as a short case question about what factors you would consider when creating a new product.
Second round was at General Mills HQ and consisted of 3 behavioral interviews with short case questions interspersed.
Overall, I really enjoyed the interview process! Everyone was extremely smart, yet down-to-earth and friendly.
