I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at General Mills in Sep 2011
Interview
Interview was not very structured, more conversational. Interviewer seemed disinterested in being there. Took a long time to hear back which is usually the case when no offer is extended.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at General Mills (Mississauga, ON) in Mar 2015
Interview
interviewed by 2 separate people - One Finance Manager and one Senior Finance Manager
Started out as informal interview with the first manager talking about the workplace and their career. Corporate culture is discussed up front. Then, he/she will ask approximately 5 interview questions, including the typical situational and behavioural questions. Once that is done, they will exit the room and the senior finance manager will enter and ask you the same questions.
Name a time where you had to communicate with different stakeholders who had a vast array of skills and possibly different levels of finance knowledge.
an intensive interview but still very detailed and helpful. i met 4 people in 4 different interviews. each one with different personalities and different teams. they always tend to ask lots of behaviorial questions and competency based questions. they also want to challenge your thinking outside the box.
