Pros

Flexible with work hours and strong partnership/cooperation across work groups. Strong sense of brand identity and connection to the company. Pay is at or above expectations.

Cons

Anyone looking to move to General Mills Finance from another company should be aware of the company culture. External experience is generally discounted and the minimum to a promotion to Associate Finance Manager from Senior Finance Analyst is 2 internal rotations, which is 3 years (at an absolute minimum). Quite a bit of turnover with external hires as they are generally placed in back of the line for promotions regardless of performance.
