I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Louisville, KY) in Mar 2011
Interview
Applied online for Merchandiser position. Was called the next day to set up an interview for the following day. Attended interview and faired well, having merchandising experience. Got a follow-up email saying I was still being considered and they'd contact me with the next step... that was 4 weeks ago. I called the job hotline and they gave me the same answer. Not sure if I'm getting an offer or they moved on. Frustrated.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Sacramento, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
I applied for this position online and received an E-mail back within a couple days. They asked me to set up a phone interview, which consisted of just going over the requirements of the position and if I wanted to continue with the process. Then they had me set up an in-person interview, all of this automated mind you (selecting time and date via a website). My interview was about a week and a half after it was scheduled. It included 6 questions; 3 based on "Why Pepsi" and what I expected from the job, and 3 based on situations:
1) Describe a time when you turned a customer with negative rapport into a positive situation.
2) Describe a time where you had to determine a persons needs versus what they wanted.
3) Describe a time when you had to learn a new skill on the job and apply it.

The first process of the job application started with a phone interview. After the phone interview was a background check, then a skills test which involved lifting light weights up to 35 pounds. Once you pass the first 3 stages you were given an interview face-to-face then a drug test.
