I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills (Minneapolis, MN) in Nov 2023
They were very quickly and timely. I spoke with a recruiter at a career fair and that same evening they let me know they wanted to interview me. Both rounds of the interview are half behavioral half technical and the technical questions were basic programming/theory that one should know.
