Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
I submitted my resume and was selected for an on-campus interview. I interviewed with HR and then a week later I was notified for a 2nd round interview on-site. They provided hotel accommodations and a really nice dinner the night before the on-site interview. The 2nd round interview consisted of a plant tour, 2 group interviews, and one 1:1 interview strictly about a case-study given the night before. Before the 2nd round interview process I was not all that thrilled about Pepsi. After the interview I was really excited about working here.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Leicester, England (United Kingdom) (took 3+ weeks)
I applied for the role, and had the first round interview at my University. There were two people interviewing and they spent time ensuring that I was comfortable. They asked quite a few questions (e.g. describe yourself in 5 words, describe a situation where you did something you regret). The 2nd round interview was a technical interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Somers, NY (took 4+ weeks)
The entire interview was behavioral. It was basically the same interview over and over, but with different people. All questions are about your resume and different situations.
The on campus interview was 45 minutes about your resume and how you would handle different situations.
The on-site interview consisted of 2 1:1 interviews. There were 4 interview slots in total, so for 2 you interviewed, and the other 2 you sat in a room waiting around.
The HR Recruiter was incredibly unprofessional and would complain that things were not set up correctly and would insult other employees of the company. In addition, the night before, they didn't have me on the interview schedule and I ended up interviewing with another HR person instead of someone in my field. Also, my interviews occurred in the cafeteria, which I thought was very inappropriate.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
HR contacted me via email, let me know when the interview would take place and with who. Did not really describe the position, nor was very flexible on the interview times. Interview consisted of 3 senior managers the first round asking analytical behavioral questions, lasting for 30minutes. They left, and 3 mid level managers came in asking "team work" type behavioral questions for another 30 minutes. They left, and 3 others came in and asked more behavioral type questions for another 30 minutes. It was very overwhelming.
