PepsiCo reviews

Overlapping & conflicting deliverables. Lack of respect towards employees. Large turnover. High stress in an investment banking attitude type life. Make corn syrup for America. Extreme, reads extreme, social engineering in promotion: in interviewing candidates for my department the focus has always been in the end to extend offers only to diversity qualifying candidates before those best qualified should they not fit that diversity background. Diversity inside PepsiCo is a verb; in three years I have seen bad results from this and there are race problems brewing within the ranks here. It is very unfortunate because by instituting a bonus structure to those Mgrs which hire a diversity candidate an artificial rainbow is created & doesn't work well together.

Appalling work/life balance following challenging systems upgrade. Managers promote and develop employees in their own image. Brown-nosing and involvement in fluffy HR initiatives count for more than core role performance. Lack of diversity and inclusion - most Senior managers are white, middle-aged, middle class males, and almost carbon copies of each other. Poor record of mental health - company does enough to look good on the surface but most employees leave the company following a mental health absence even if it is directly associated with work/life balance, work- related stress or bullying. Lack of equality and transparency especially regarding remuneration and hierarchy - too many people undervalued until the point of resignation when suddenly there are ‘options’. Gossip culture especially at Senior level.
