I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Champaign, IL) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview was one behavioral interview. Standard questions, just answer with the STAR method and it should be relatively well. No curveball questions or anything involving technical skills. They have very quick response times and will let you know within two weeks either yes or no.

Question 1
Why PepsiCo?
Tell me about a time you were a leader?
Only had 1 interview and it was with someone from Frito Lay. Overall wasn’t bad but they really want to hear from leaders and someone that is willing to be a sponge and go above and beyond in the role.

Question 1
Tell me a time where you took on a leadership position and how have you grown from it
The interview process was quick and straightforward. It consisted of just one round—a relaxed, conversational chat with the recruiter. Instead of heavy behavioral or technical questions, it focused more on my personality, communication style, and genuine interest in the position. The vibe was friendly and informal, making it feel more like a dialogue than an interrogation, which really helped me speak comfortably about my experiences and goals.
One zoom call interview through my school’s job fair with about 3 people on it. A mix of some personal and professional questions with an overall lighthearted vibe. Clicked well with the interviewers.
