I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Boston, MA) in Aug 2023
Interview
Hiring manager and then a few people from the New England team I think. The manager was very inexperienced, said she hasn’t managed a team for a year yet. The team members were nice and friendly but they seemed miserable. Then I met with the hire up sales manager for the north east. She was very condescending and rude, it was a huge red flag. I could tell she had little experience managing people as well. I left feeling that the culture is pretty awful and the manager seemed like a micromanager. It was not my best experience. I declined their offer.
