I applied online. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Mississauga, ON) in Sep 2015
Interview
First round is a phone interview with someone in HR (really nice- she asked basic behavioural questions- why pepsi?) and scheduled an in person interview following week with hiring manager and another person from HR. Hiring manager asked specific questions and HR person asked more behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favourite pepsi beverage? Who in the market has the best pricing strategy right now? You have a set target from head office every year for revenue...how do you ensure you meet that with the sale of carbonated beverages declining? How many bags of chips do we sell in a year?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Plano, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
I had two separate on site interviews. First with the direct hiring manager of open position. A week later I met with the director of the newly formed team. I received very positive feedback from both managers.

What were my current duties and how did they align with the open position
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Mississauga, ON) in Apr 2015
Interview
A few days after the posting closed, a recruiter emailed me requesting a phone screen interview. I had the phone screen interview, which was more like a casual conversation. The recruiter was fun to talk to and seemed pretty knowledgeable about the position. I was shortly then offered a virtual webcam interview (I was an out-of-town candidate). The webcam interview was with two hiring managers, who were also quite enjoyable to talk to. Again, this was more like a conversation than an interview.
