Pros
GREAT people. Honestly, they were like a 2nd family to me, both my business partners and my peers. The technical and professional competencies I developed there are beyond my wildest dreams. And if you're someone who is driven and super focused on work then this is the perfect place for you. You will succeed and probably love it as much as I did. The benefits were great. Strong focus on metrics & deliverables. Great company committment to diversity and inclusion. Communication venues and technology solutions were far better than I expected, or realized at the time. Pay was good IF you were recognized for the work you were doing. Got to travel a lot and no expense was spared.
Cons
Work Life Balance is awful out in the field. There's a lot of talk about fixing it but it never changed. In fact, talked started encouraging us to focus on the quality of the time we were spending at home rather than how often you were seeing your family. If you have a family the this isn't the place to work long term. Great for young type-A college grads but anyone else will eventually struggle. Also, HQ HR often failed to recognize & reward the contributions of people on the ground. This was really a place where who you knew and how you looked drove your career, pay, etc. Did you fit the "Pepsi Co Pretty" model? Did you suck up to the execs? If not, you're excluded from a lot of things.
