I applied online. I interviewed at Cargill (Hopkins, MN) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process was very thorough. They had multiple rounds of interviews in a number of different formats from phone to Skype interviews. Had interviews with many different staff members from different departments.

Question 1
Describe a situation where everyone was going in one direction and you stood out and went the opposite way.
Phone screen with HR, then phone call with hiring manager, then panel interview with leadership. All virtual, but very engaging and very conversational. Hiring manager always seemed to want to move faster than HR wanted to move. Overall it was a good experience for such a large company.
