I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Purchase, NY) in Apr 2010
Interview
Met with the hiring manager and thought it went well. I believed he really liked me. The second person to interview me seemed like she felt I was too much experience even though this was a contract job. I would think you would want experience for a contract job. Both individuals were really nice to me and the conversation went well.

Since you have led IT departments and this position requires a very hands on person, how would you handle this.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Cedar Rapids, IA) in Mar 2008
Interview
I applied online, I received a phone call from an HR rep in Chicago, she asked some basic education, background, work experience questions. I then got invited to interview at the plant in Cedar Rapids, I was interviewed by two different 2 person panels. The first one was two managers, and the second one was two different employees that held the same position i was applying for. Pretty basic questions - mostly to get a feel for my background and work experience....
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Newark, DE) in Feb 2010
Interview
I only got as far as the initial interview. They asked me a series of situational questions, and asked me to apply my previous experiences to potential problems.
