I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2016
Interview
I started off with a 30 min phone interview. Then about a week later I had a day of in-person interviews. All interviews were in the STAR format so being able to answer behavioral questions is key. I feel like everyone wanted to see your true personality and learn not only about your previous roles but about how you would be a fit at General Mills.

I applied online. I interviewed at General Mills in Jan 2021
Interview
I went through a multi-step interview process. After submitting my application online, I was contacted via email to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. The next round consisted of 3 one-on-one via Microsoft Teams: 15 min with the Talent Acquisitions Manager, 30 min with the HR Manager for the division, and 30 min with a Senior Marketing Manager for the division. In all interviews, I was asked situation and behavior-based questions. They want you to answer using the STAR method.
Overall, it was a good experience. Everyone was really nice and happy to answer all my questions along the way.

Interview
Standard behavioral questions. First phone interview with hiring manager and then invited in for more interviews. Before going to the in person interview, you have to take a personality test which was easy but took some time. Additionally, there is a reasoning test that was very hard, you only get 22 minutes to answer 20 questions.
