I interviewed at General Mills (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
behavioural questions and self-introduction the interviewer was so nice , but was ghosted after first round when I reached out to my referral I received an instant rejection email. i was left without reply before that for a month even though the interviewer told me it was a high priority role and would reply by 1 week
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Pune) in Jul 2025
Interview
Rating it neutral despite being a frustrated candidate.
- HR ROUND OF SCREENING
- ONLINE TEST OF 21 QUESTION mix of SQL, Python and GCP
- Onsite round with managers in a drive format where they will expect a 15year experienced guy to write SQL for converting JSON format column into a table of 2 columns(basically a key to column and value to row values). They have created question bank. It is a hands on role so expect that they will say we need someone who can guide the team. However it is clear that they are forming a team to get a project from US so that they can make their seniors happy.
They have more than double digit positions to be filled in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Tell me how do you define entity relationship as bigquery?
- Design a demo pipeline for data ingestion.
- Apache airflow operators
- Why GKE used separately instead of composer.
They will not go into depth of your knowledge and approach instead they will try to see if he/she has handson. They have employees joined all over the place from fintech as managers so these managers want to delegate their work to this team so that they can atleast have some relaxation which is clearly visible.
D&T Data Analytics department it is. Managers have joined as friends and they are not GCP or AZURE architects now they are hiring people who are architect so that they can be playing safely within org. All of them were relatively new to general mills. Hardly 2 years and coming from
on or the other fintech from previous teams.
