Pros

1. Salary structure is good if you can negotiate 2. Best HR Department I have seen. They have no HRIS in place, most of the activities are manual 3. Supply Chain Organisation is one of the best and full of learning. Other organisations respect planners of General Mills 4. Fun filled environment and your life will be easy if you are your manager's pet 5. Employees who have been with the organisation for more than 6 years get work from home (even outside Mumbai) or need to come twice a week 6. Employees are expected to provide HMM (soft and hard savings to the organisation) 7. Always use latest technology 8. New ideas are always welcome in the organisation 9. All departments except IT gets free lunch, snacks and dinner while IT gets free snacks only 10. Employee discount on General Mills products (20% to 40%) 11. Immense IJP opportunity (Internal Job posting) moving from one department to the other

Cons

1. Old is Gold in this organization, employees only who had joined in the organisation first (10 years back) get company parking, others park on the road 2. IT Department of GBS is a cost center. Those who have been with the organisation for last 6-7 years get implementation projects, other just have to stand in queue and do support activities (meaningless jobs) 3. Favouritism and stealing of ideas at its level high 4. Top level management is never stable and keep on changing 5. Extra level of ineligible middle level managers
