A 45min to 1 hr interview. The interview was thorough with multiple questions relating to job expirience, how to manage and develop a team, and problem sovling style. The team was very welcoming and easy to conversate with.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Toledo, OH) in Jan 2020
Interview
Phone interview with someone in Chicago went for about 20 minutes and went well. Next an in person interview set up at plant. I went through 2-40 minute interviews with 2 people in each session. I felt comfortable with everyone but one of the interviewers. She was not engaged with the process and didn’t give off a come work for Pepsi vibe. That said, I felt the interview went well with the other people. Big issue for me was they didn’t get back with me for 2 months. Not exaggerating. I received a rejection email 9 weeks after the interview.
