General Mills reviews

General Mills is a very good company to work for. You have the possibility to work for a multinational company without the excessive processes that usually come with these type of companies. It is a company with very strong values, which I share, and where your contributions are taken into account. Since the accquisition on Yoki in Brazil, there has been a huge boost in the region.

I both interned and worked full time at General Mills as a software developer. Let me state first and foremost that I loved working there, and that they always treated me really well. Some pros, from a career standpoint: -The internship program is a well oiled machine. I would argue that it's almost flawless in its blend of appropriate sized projects, matching you with fellow employees as technical resources, and arranging social activities with other interns. -There's a wide variety of teams and technologies to move between if you so choose. -Smart, driven, friendly people everywhere. Since the company has such a low turnover rate, you may find yourself on a team with someone who has spent 15-20 years in a given technology. I particularly enjoyed being able to work directly with these people and draw knowledge from them. -Due diligence will ensure that you move up through the ranks. If you do your job and do it adequately, you will get promoted in time. -Best-in-class work life balance. Most teams let you work from home when it's convenient for you. You're encouraged to be in the office during core business hours (9am-3pm), but this is always flexible depending on your team and schedule. Some pros, from a perks standpoint (at the headquarters building): -TONS of amenities. Onsite gas station, credit union, doctor, hair salon, fitness center, grocery store, caribou coffee. -Lots of employee networks and social activities. -Great benefits. 401k, pension plan, etc.
