General Mills reviews

- Pay raises are laughable. - People work in silos, and problems happen constantly because somebody forgot to share critical info. - Upper-middle/senior management is blindly optimistic about their ability to turn things around. If you challenge the majority thought in the room, you’re told you have a bad attitude, and it will show up on your performance review. - Basically only recruits externally for interns, and try to keep you forever. This has led to a lack of creative/different thinking in the room, and ideas are getting stale. I also think it’s how they keep salaries low. - Heavy presence of Midwestern passive-aggressive I.e., “Minnesota Nice” - Everyone loves/is encouraged to change roles after 12-18 months. It’s led to a severe lack of continuity on businesses where the wheel gets reinvented, or we try something again that failed 2+ years ago. - My hypothesis is that they are gearing up to eliminate remote employment, and move most roles to Minneapolis.

Seems like the company ran out of excuses to fire employees. They have a bad year?: reorg. They have a great year with record profits? Also reorg. They fired 800 person over email! and more to come! They claim to care so much for the employees just to fire them in the middle of the pandemic because "We are doing it from a position of strength" . How ridiculous is that?
