      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PepsiCo

      Interview

      Took a few months to hear from them about this role after a 2 phone interviews and 4 zoom interviews. With no explanation to why it took so long. It should never take that long to get a no.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      nothing too hard, normal questions
      Answer question
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PepsiCo

      Interview

      It was intense and there was a lot of questions about myself. Prepare for that. I would have prepared a lot more and sold myself a lot better. That is about it.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo in Sept 2017

      Interview

      I applied on my university’s career portal. 10 people total interviewed for the position, but only 1 is hired. The interview is half technical/ half behavioral. Behavioral is really standard, literally a conversation about your resume and a couple of questions. The technical portion is different. They ask about any research you have done (in detail with follow up questions), and ask about 4 technical questions relating to the PepsiCo/FritoLay production line.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Talk about a time when you were told to do something but weren’t given much direction/instruction.
