I applied through university. I interviewed at General Mills (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Two Virtual Interviews. Both 30 minutes long. Very nice people and a safe interviewing environment. Introductions, followed by behavioral questions followed by CPG Marketing Case questions. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Question 1
Give me an example of a time that you had to provide feedback to a superior.
The initial interview was a quick 15 minutes of interview questions, then 5 minutes for a Question & Answer session. It is described as a "get to know you" call but is actually an interview with case questions.

3 rounds of interview in total. First round with HR for culture fit, second round with Brand Manager and Senior Brand Manager and Final round with UK Head of Marketing
Phone screening, then virtual video online interview with hR manager. They gave a really good overview of the role and emphasised company culture. Were very realistic about the number of rounds to go through - including a meet and greet coffee catchup
