Merchandiser at PepsiCo
No Offer – Interviewed in Morton, IL – Reviewed Apr 15, 2013
Interview Details – The interviewer was nice. Most of the questions were condescending and was kind of treated like I was stupid. Extensive questioning of my personal life and religion for some reason. Got the impression they were only looking for someone with a similar belief set as management.

Scientist at PepsiCo
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Purchase, NY Mar 2011 – Reviewed Apr 5, 2013
Interview Details – Interview and hiring process took a very long time so be prepared to wait. There were a mix of telephone calls and back-to-back in person interviews. People were more conversational than interested in posing situational questions, but I'm sure that depends on the person's style. Everyone was very friendly and made the process smooth.
Interview Question – None Answer Question

Legal Assistant at PepsiCo
No Offer – Reviewed Apr 5, 2013
Interview Details –
I applied for the position online and heard back from someone in HR the very next day. We scheduled an interview for the following week. I had to meet with three different interviewers, they didn't ask many questions but they did spend quite some time explaining what my duties would be.
After a three hour interview process, I only heard back from the HR department once and according to her all three interviewers were very pleased with me. I never heard back from her after that. I think they could've done a better job at letting me know if I had received the position or not.
Interview Question – One of the interviewers asked if I would be ok being a legal assistant even though I have a degree in Paralegal studies. Answer Question

Financial Analyst at PepsiCo
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Dec 2011 – Reviewed Mar 31, 2013
Interview Details – My interview was setup through a recruiting firm, but it was conducted by the department head and (essentially) the assistant department head.. After going through my job history and background, basic questions were asked (nothing out of the ordinary). About 2 days later, the recruiting firm called asking me if I would accept the position.
Interview Question – The interview questions were basic and to the point about my background, work experience, etc, but varied and in no perceived logical order. I later learned that the questioning was done intentionally to see if I was capable of thinking quickly on my feet and for adaptability. Answer Question

Sales Development Program at PepsiCo
No Offer – Reviewed Mar 28, 2013
Interview Details – Overall the interview process was short and sweet. You get to the office and listen to a short presentation given by HR for about 1/2 hour. Then you have to give a presentation of your resume to 3 HR employees for about 10 minutes - kind of like pitching yourself. Then there are two 30 minutes interviews. After that I had to act out a sales scenario for about 15 minutes with a manager. They are open to answering questions and everyone was nice.
Interview Question – All of the questions were behavioral based. So like, what would you do if your store was out of stock and it was the weekend? Answer Question
