I applied through college or university. I interviewed at General Mills in Nov 2014
Interview
General Mills came to our university's career fair & I was invited for an on-campus interview after meeting some of the current BMAs and the company's recruiter. First round consisted of behavioral questions. Was invited back immediately the next day for a second interview, which also was comprised of more behavioral questions. The second interview gave me a chance to ask more personal questions (the interviewer was a current employee). In addition, had to submit two online "assessments"--very easy, no prior preparation required. Was invited and flown out for third round interviews at one of the business centers, which gave me a chance to really gauge the company culture. General Mills really seems like a family and I enjoyed my entire interviewing experience.

Interview
Went through university recruiting process. I had attended a career fair and talked to the recruiter and left my resume. I was contacted about their Meet & Greet session and was invited to apply to the position. I went to the mandatory information session that they had the night before the first round interviews. That night I got invited to the second round which was the next day. I also had to take their deductive reasoning test and personality assessments. Their deductive reasoning test was the hardest thing I ever took. Extremely frustrating and I think that preparation is definitely needed. Both interviews are behavioral. Unfortunately I was not invited to the final round that would have been at one of their business centers. Great people though and smooth process!

Questions weren't too difficult. Use the STAR method and really prepare for any question. They ask all types of questions in both interviews.
