Pros

Great senior leaders that provide clear business priorities and strategies Strong diversity across all levels Strong for resume and highly coveted by companies looking for strong marketing talent General management training ground Fun culture Very competitive total compensation the longer you work there. It makes it difficult to leave because other companies can't match the total compensation structure.

Cons

The two biggest cons of working at General Mills are its slow career progress and the passive aggressive meeting culture. The slow career progression leads to the loss of some strong talent and frustration. The passive aggressive culture sometimes leads to difficulty in driving innovation.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
