I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at General Mills (Golden Valley, MN) in Oct 2019
Interview
Applied online and got a call from an HR assistant a week later to set up a 1:1 call with the position's supervisor. After that call, I was invited to an in-person interview at the GM HQ in Golden Valley and given an online reasoning and personality test to complete. The in-person interview was very structured, but a good experience. Managers have a sheet of questions they walk through one-by-one taking notes — be sure to answer in the recommended "Situation/Task/Context/Action/Result" format or you may get asked to rephrase.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
Overall, the interview process, although very thorough and situational question-heavy, went really smoothly. Everything was communicated very clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. I applied online and got a call about 2 weeks later to set up a phone interview. After the phone interview, a few days later I was contacted to schedule an in-person interview. Scheduling this took about 2 weeks. I met with 2 HR specialists, and 3 people from the direct team. Each interview had situational questions, but also was casual enough to develop into a conversation. One of the interviews was over coffee at Caribou inside the building. They also walked me around the different buildings, so it was nice to see all that GM has to offer. Overall I couldn't ask for a better interviewing process.

I applied through university. I interviewed at General Mills
Interview
First step in the process is a phone screen interview with a recruiter. Then, if selected, a half day in-person interview at the main headquarters, in Minneapolis, including interviews with the team and human resources. They ask behavioral based interview questions, and ask about previous experience directly relating to the job description.
