      Great Place to Start a Career

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Their on-boarding programs are very nice in the fact that they allow new hires to really experience different parts of their business. They do a good job of getting you exposure both to Senior Management and in front of customers.

      Cons

      There aren't many downsides to being at General Mills. There are plenty of opportunities. One thing to be careful of is to make sure you are on top of openings that do come up and keep on top of your development. It can easily go by the way side.

      Good brands but highly bureaucratic and slow moving organization

      Associate marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good brands to put on your resume - Flexible work time (i.e. can leave at 5pm and finish rest of work from home)

      Cons

      - Highly bureaucratic / political organization. This organization is not a meritocracy. Cannot challenge management. Must support upper management's ideas even when they are not the right thing for the business - Mills claims to be innovation but their idea of innovation is more along the lines of taking a big box of cereal and putting it in six little boxes than actually coming up with a truly innovative process or product - Rotations are long. It will take you 3-4 years of rotations before you get a real promotion.
