I applied online. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Delta, BC) in May 2013
Interview
I initially applied online for a different job, but about 3 days later received a call from one of their representatives telling me that i was better qualified for the merchandiser position. From there she proceeded to ask me questions over the phone, as a sort of prescreening thing. Then she said that she would hand my profile to one of the hiring managers and if they were interested, I would be contacted for an interview. About 2-3 weeks later, I received the phone call and set up an interview. The interview was fine, and the interviewer was very friendly and I thought that it went well.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Morton, IL)
Interview
The interviewer was nice. Most of the questions were condescending and was kind of treated like I was stupid. Extensive questioning of my personal life and religion for some reason. Got the impression they were only looking for someone with a similar belief set as management.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
Applied online and scheduled a phone interview for a few days later. Got a call from a Pepsi rep who basically told me about the position, requirements and asked if I was still interested. The rep then scheduled me for a face to face interview. The woman I interviewed with was really nice and professional. She first told me about the position, asked me to walk her through my employment history, then asked me some behavioral questions and the typical interview questions. The interview went really well. When the interview was completed, she told me I should receive an email regarding the next steps. About 5 days later, the Pepsi rep called me and offered me the position. She then scheduled me for a drug test which I had to complete within 48 hours of accepting the offer. I also had to give them permission to run a background check. Got a call yesterday saying everything cleared and I was given a start date. Cant wait to start!
