Pros

General Mills has a great work culture and is very employee centric / focused. They are definetely a market leader in terms of use of technology and marketing. Some classic product lines whic are going great till date.

Cons

General Mills tends to be less agrresive in terms of company growth / working style especially outside the US. Their major focus has been the US for a very long time which is why other companies beat them hands down in the international market. The company also has a flatlined but pretty complex organizational structure which can add to complexity in communication / decision making. Not a great company to join when your young and want to really learn a lot.
