Pros

General Mills is one of those grand old companies that still cares for and treats employees well, and it can well afford to because it consistently delivers outstanding results. The people are amazing, the facilities are beautiful, the work is engaging and satisfying - on the whole it's a great place to build a career.

Cons

As with many big companies, General Mills can be very conservative and sometimes move slowly. Some people hate the weather, too (winter only, of course), but it's to be expected in the upper midwest and the gorgeous summers (and summer hours!) more than make up for it.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
