I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Plano, TX) in Oct 2008
Interview
The first interview was intented to be an on-campus interview; however, when I went through the process, they could not get a space in our career center for an interview, so I was asked to visit the headquarters campus. My first interview consisted of behavioral-based questions (like "How do you deal with conflict?" and "What is your greatest achievement?"). The interview was very laid back and I could tell it was mostly just to see if my personality would fit in with the company.
The second round of interviews consisted of three 30-minute interviews in which I learned about different positions available within the Operations department. While still behavioral-based questions, this round was designed more to determine placement rather than personality.
Once offered the position (which I accepted), the company conducted a background check and I had to complete a drug test.
Folks were kind enough during the interview. Standard questions, no surprises. Definitely need to know the exact names of products if referencing anything, saying you like blue Gatorade blue might annoy some there.

I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Gainesville, FL) in Sep 2017
Interview
I applied through my university and was selected that week for an interview. I went into the interview in a large room with many other candidates being interviewed and had two interviewers. I was asked a series of behavioral questions and the interviewers were one experienced employee and one previous intern. Very friendly throughout the process, but I felt that the position wasn't right for me.
