I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Houston, TX) in Apr 2018
Interview
Applied online, and recieved a request to schedule and interview. Pretty simple, click on the available dates and it's done. The interview was with two managers, one was content on bashing my past work experience for some reason. He admitted that my resume was great but I could just be good at writing a resume (wow). He also made it a point to tell me that PepsiCo is better than any other company I've ever worked for, and the pay with benefits beats all others (untrue) and why should Pepsi choose me. I am glad I had the opportunity to interview with them, because I have never been more certain that I am clearly over qualified for that role and I would have made a mistake accepting. Also I was told there is no company car issued, 10-12 hour work days start time is 6am. Low 401k match and Hourly pay.
Pretty typical interview, will ask about your plans for the future and where you see yourself in a few years. Be prepared to have an in-depth answer, not just about were you would be in the company, but where do you see yourself generally.

Question 1
One challenge you have faced in your previous position and how did you handle it?
I applied online. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Jackson, TN) in Sep 2025
Interview
Decent interviewer with normal interview questions you would expect from a large company; apparently it’s customary for them to not let you know, as would be expected from a reputable establishment, if not only as a courtesy, whether you were their choice or not. Note to whomever with the company may see this… show a little professionalism and reach out to candidates either way.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a difficult task or deadline to meet… how did you achieve it?
It was a brief interview that lasted around 15-20 minutes. The interviewer was friendly and created a smooth interviewing environment. The questions were pretty much what you would expect, and it didn't feel like they were trying to "trick" you with any.
