I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Winchester, VA) in May 2016
Interview
Online test. Was contacted for phone interview. Had to go through an automated machine that forced me to set the "first available appointment" which was almost 3 full weeks in the future. I thought that was very odd, but set the appointment for 9AM today. Rearranged my schedule so that I was available at that time. 9AM came, 9:15 came, 9:30 came - 10AM came. Not only did I not get a phone call, I didn't get an e-mail or any explanation - or apology - just nothing. What an absolutely HORRIBLE way to run a company. From reading the rest of the reviews, I guess this is par for the course for Frito-Lay/Pepsico. Leaves a really horrible impression of the company and you can bet I'll switch brands from now on. So not only did they lose the opportunity to have a great employee, they also lost my business, my family's business and you can bet I will share this experience with everyone each time their name or products comes up. Pepsico - here's some free advice: ETHICAL COMPANIES only schedule the amount of interviews that the local representative can actually accommodate. If an outstanding candidate is found early in the process, then the VERY LEAST you can do is to notify the other candidates that their interviews have been cancelled. Quit hiding behind an automated system. There are REAL people out here and your inability to run your hiring process ethically has REAL consequences.
I applied in-person. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Cordova, TN)
Interview
I put in for this job and other jobs with this company for over 10 years more than qualified than any person in the position was called in for an interview interview went great was told I get a email in the next week never day and still haven't got an email but while checking my portal they have declined to offer me a job but said that I Great and had great accomplishments but we're going to closely hire somebody didn't get the job. This is been the biggest waste of time I will never put in for this company again very disappointed in the company when they hire managers
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PepsiCo in Mar 2016
Interview
Long interview process. Short phone calls, contacted by many different people. Phone interview about 30 minutes. A ride along. Hair follicle drug test. Overall fairly easy process, sometimes confusing when you are being contacted by too many different people. Ride along began at 4 am which lasted a few hours.
