I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo in May 2011
Interview
The interview was behavioral type questions which were somewhat vague. It was an interview with two people. When I asked questions to them at the end they were pretty vague there also. They are looking for someone who is customer service driven because they state that this job can be taught but if you don't have the passion to serve your customer then you are applying for the wrong job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in Sep 2011
Interview
Met with college recruiters at Job fair at University. I was then asked to apply online. It see,ed the recruiters didn't care much about my pas experience during the job fair. I applied online at the Pepsico careers website and received a phone call a few days later and they performed a quick phone briefing. Typical questions but didn't get a chance to talk too much about how I could be valuable to their organization. Received a generic thank you letter in the mail the following day.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2011
Interview
First round was a phone interview with an HR contractor they use. This was mostly a resume walk and a why PepsiCo session.
Second round was with a Finance Manager who asked about interests and I did another resume walk. She also asked if I would be comfortable reporting to someone similar in age/class year.
Final round was three one on ones. The first was with a Finance Manager who asked for a resume walk and did Q&A. The next person was with a divsional CFO who asked me to walk through my resume (and stopped at certain points to ask questions about different roles I had), talk about interests, and concluded by asking me what I scored on the GMAT. The final person was a Senior Finance Manager with whom I did a resume walk during which we stopped on certain roles to talk more in depth about things I did.
My advice is to score high on the GMAT because I was told that my GMAT wasn't high enough.
