Interviewed Jun 2011 in El Paso, TX (took 2 weeks)
The hiring process began with a brief phone interview from the main corporate office HR department if I recall correctly. The phone call pretty much described the job that was being applied for just so we were on the same page about the job being applied for . The whole process was pretty good because of the updates via email on the interview status. I had a second in person interview with the sales manager at the local Pepsi office. The first part of the interview i was asked basic questions about why i wanted to join Pepsi and how the company could benefit from me and the second part i was then asked some situational questions.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in San Diego, CA (took 4+ weeks)
Spoke with Human Resources to set up intial interview with Managment. The interview was 2 managers in tandem and very conversational and practical. They treated me with Dignity and respect and were interested in learning about my skills and talents. The office is in disrepair and the place is a bit disheviled, it is a warehouse after all. My experience with the people at Pepsi is they have a pride in their product and service. I would say that you need to ask about the realistic expectations of advancement, like what are the current openings as a next step to the position you are applying for.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 6 weeks)
Probably one of the toughest interviews I've had as a graduating senior. They start with first round campus/phone interviews and then select around 20 candidates to send to Riverside for a 4 hour interview round that involves 4 different interviews (2 HR and 2 senior managers) followed by a plant tour.
Overall looks like a great company if you're willing to get your hands dirty and work your ass off. Compensation is typically 50k to start with a signing bonus.

Had 4 different phone interview, first was a screening, second was with the hiring manager, third was with the territory sales manager and last interview was with the direct manager for the pre-sell rep position.
Lost contact after the last phone interview. Never heard back from them in regards to the position opening up or them choosing a different candidate.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Whippany, NJ (took a day)
The first process of the job application started with a phone interview. After the phone interview was a background check, then a skills test which involved lifting light weights up to 35 pounds. Once you pass the first 3 stages you were given an interview face-to-face then a drug test.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
Seems like they are really people oriented, very business oriented, and very focused on filling their customers needs as opposed to making money. The interviewer was late to the interview and kept texting his customers during the interview. He was a sales manager, not a recruiter, which kind of seemed unfair as all of the other candidates for my position interviewed with a recruiter.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Somers, NY (took 3 months)
This is the worst company when it comes to showing courtesy towards the candidates. They have no value for the candidates time and money. Will make promises of on-site interviews and never even bother to respond to multiple e-mails and voice mails. Most of the hiring is internal so will never mention that the hiring for the post is completed but will keep you hanging by saying that you are in consideration for a different position. For a company with such an image this approach is totally unprofessional.
