I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Pontiac, MI) in Feb 2009
Interview
The interview was very basic. It did not consist of many scenario based questions. I didn't feel like the interviewer had any interest in what they were doing. They didn't seem very knowledgeable about the training program. I never really got a feel for what the company culture was like. When I left the interview I didn't really care to have the job since many of my questions were unanswered and it seemed like it was more work than the interviewer cared to do.
Pretty typical interview, will ask about your plans for the future and where you see yourself in a few years. Be prepared to have an in-depth answer, not just about were you would be in the company, but where do you see yourself generally.

Question 1
One challenge you have faced in your previous position and how did you handle it?
I applied online. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Jackson, TN) in Sept 2025
Interview
Decent interviewer with normal interview questions you would expect from a large company; apparently it’s customary for them to not let you know, as would be expected from a reputable establishment, if not only as a courtesy, whether you were their choice or not. Note to whomever with the company may see this… show a little professionalism and reach out to candidates either way.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a difficult task or deadline to meet… how did you achieve it?
It was a brief interview that lasted around 15-20 minutes. The interviewer was friendly and created a smooth interviewing environment. The questions were pretty much what you would expect, and it didn't feel like they were trying to "trick" you with any.
