Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Purchase, NY).
Interview
Recruiter called me, had telephone interview with hiring manager, the face to face interview. Face to face was weird as most people involved were folks I didn't work with or for. Biggest issue was salary negotiations - PepsiCo completely low balled the position and barely came close to market standards. Then, there was a drug test.

PepsiCo completely low balled the position and barely came close to market standards. Was like pulling teeth to get 15% lower than typical hourly rate.

Application
I interviewed at PepsiCo (Purchase, NY) in June 2010.
Interview
The interview was pretty straight forward. I was asked to walk through my resume, talk about experiences working in a team and to describe what I believe the role was like. I tried to tie in different experiences I have had in the past to what the role requirements looked like. Then I was asked if I had any questions for the interviewer. Overall very friendly and pleasant. I interviewed with four different people ranging in roles from SVP to Manager.
Interview Questions
Negotiation
I was not able to negotiate much. I was able to negotiate a few additional vacation days, but aside from that HR would not budge on much.
Interview
I didn't really experience an interview. They just described the job description.

Reasons for Declining
The company culture was not for me. I didn't like the sneaky idividuals that worked there and the lack of awareness of employee concerns. ( or they just don't care)

Application
I applied online. The process took 5+ weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo.
Interview
I submitted an application online and was contacted by a Talent Acquisition Specialist about 2 weeks later. We scheduled a phone screen later in the week. I had a screening with hiring manager the following week. She moved me ahead to an in-person interview.
The final interview was a series of five in-person interviews with various marketing and cross-functional team members.
This is where things went south...the hiring manager had to cancel due to an emergency (understandable). We connected the following day and scheduled another in-person interview for the following week. I received an email from an HR coordinator saying that the hiring manager had to cancel, and that someone would call me about next steps within 24 hours.
Not only did no one ever contact me, but I received a form rejection email over a week later. I don't mind the rejection, but the fact that they dragged it out for so long (they even re-posted the job before I got my email!) didn't sit well with me at all.
Also- the talent acquisition specialist said that I would receive feedback no matter the outcome, but I never did. It was so strange how they were interested one minute, then dropped me with no explanation the next.
