I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2013
Interview
I had 4 phone interviews, one with the recruiter and 3 with my managers and a director on the team. They all were fairly straightforward and everyone was very open to answering my questions. There were large gaps of time before I heard anything after some of the interviews, but I was told that was because they were trying to figure out where to place me on the team. I went in for 1 office interview and met with two people. I was offered the position the next week.

Question 1
All of the questions were pretty straightforward about my experience and the position.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PepsiCo in Feb 2012
Interview
Phone interview with HR manager and brand manager of one of Pepsico's product lines. Both seemed extremely friendly and bubbly and were very receptive to questions or concerns. Questions were a mix of standard/traditional ones and some weird ones that caught me slightly off guard. They didn't ask anything about my resume, in fact I had to take the initiative/offer to give a short blurb on myself and a brief description of my resume. Interview was about 45 minutes long.
