I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Hyderabad) in Jan 2026
Interview
1st round of the previous project architecture discussion and coding problem-solving.
You are building a simplified air traffic monitoring system that tracks multiple aircraft in 3D space and detects potential conflicts between them.
Each aircraft (flight) is defined by:
A unique Flight ID
Latitude and Longitude (in degrees)
Altitude (in meters above sea level)
Speed (in meters per second)
Heading (in degrees, where 0° = North, 90° = East)
Simulate the movement of all flights over a given time interval and detect conflicts, where two flights come closer than a minimum safe separation distance.
2nd round system design
3rd onsite face-to-face discussion on the previous project, followed by a coding round focused on Java Spring Boot.
Develop rest services with business logic and write unit tests.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PepsiCo (New York, NY) in Aug 2024
Interview
Interview was held on campus in person. They asked mostly behavioral based questions and the Interviewers were really personable! If you go to all the recruiting events that they have on campus, it would make it really easier. That way you feel more comfortable because you’ve spent time with the interviewers.
It was an average interview process that made it pretty straightforward when doing the actual interview with the questions being standard interview questions. Be ready for sales type questions. Great people doing the interview.
