I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Des Moines, IA) in Nov 2013
Interview
More intense than I thought it was going to be going in. They were friendly enough but it was intimidating to interview with 3 very experienced managers. They reached asked multiple questions and it was situational based on experience and situations to be handled working for Frito Lay.

Question 1
How would you handle situations with store personnel?
Was. not bad!could have been better. The questions they asked were very personal and required team effort also wanted to get to know about family life. I recommend really being prepared to speak for interview
I applied online. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Pontiac, MI) in Nov 2022
Interview
Two interviewers who spent an alarmingly amount of time looking at their phones and giggling and sharing with each other. An hour was spent mostly reaffirming I was ok with how physical the job was. Despite their supposedly being a physical test, one was not conducted.

Question 1
When they weren't on their phones they seemed more concerned about the physicality of the job more than anything else.
Had two interviews both were straightforward and well prepared. The first interview was with a group and the second was a one to one interview. Would definitely recommend as it is a great company with many benefits.
