RecommendsNegative OutlookI have been working at General Mills
Pros
Some really great people and the ability to do actual marketing in Canada.
Cons
Some senior people who have no idea what it is like to manage anywhere else and are extremely controlling. Managing up is often a major part of the job description. That is probably a nice way of saying you have to suck up and say yes a lot.
