      Decent - Controls Engineer General Mills Employee Review

      Pros

      Benefits are on-par with industry. Very structured, if that's your thing. Some of the best technology and systems in industry. CI system is fantastic and really makes the plants run smoothly.

      Cons

      Certain people get preferential treatment. Those who have been with the company since interns/college-hire are allowed to "pull rank" and are trusted over others, no matter what level you are. Unless you are going to play the game, speak the lingo, and act like a number, there isn't much room for advancement on merit/achievement alone. Granted, that's how a company of this size gets ahead.

      Good work life balance, many people fully remote or hybrid

      Cons

      Pros

      Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

      Cons

      The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
