I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Went to College Career Fair, received a text message [ first time I have ever received a text for a job interview lol ] about a first round interview on campus that week. Interview was with three employees, including an HR recruiter. It was pretty easy, describe why you want to work in operations and why PepsiCo. I was applying for Frito Lay Division. Final round was next week, consisted of a plant tour, and two additional interviews with managers. Interviews were harder this time. Asked for example of when you streamline a process, and examples of material on resume.

Question 1
Tell me about your self ?
Why Pepsi Co ?
Go through experiences on your resume ?
Examples of group projects.
Folks were kind enough during the interview. Standard questions, no surprises. Definitely need to know the exact names of products if referencing anything, saying you like blue Gatorade blue might annoy some there.

Interview
I applied through my university and was selected that week for an interview. I went into the interview in a large room with many other candidates being interviewed and had two interviewers. I was asked a series of behavioral questions and the interviewers were one experienced employee and one previous intern. Very friendly throughout the process, but I felt that the position wasn't right for me.
