      Pros

      Relaxed work envirement in Frito HQ 4 weeks vacation after 5 years, 3 if you are new. 401k with match for new employees. Excellent gym.

      Cons

      Performance with Purpose means do more with less. Smart spending means the death of fun/morale killer. Annual merit increases do not increase your purchasing power. Review system doesn't properly recognize and reward valuable team members and seems to have no weight when it comes to promotions. Poor communication of policy changes. Often the candidate who is getting a job is known before the interviews even happen. Company seems to be constantly realigning its reporting structure. Managers more often than not have no time to coach or help subordinates with their career or to power talk them in meetings. Older employees lost the 401k match instead of being fully grandfathered in. Pension still around but for how long? Constant both public and silent layoffs keep people stressed because you never know when you will get outsourced or the shoulder tap. Computer Equipment outdated and slow, screens small unless your department spends the money. Same with ergonomics. High deductible health plan savings went to company bottom line.

      Thank you for the review. We highly recommend setting up time with your HR Manager to talk about the work-life balance and other issues you are running into. Remember that you can also utilize the Speak-Up line as well at any time if you would like to report the problems you are running into.

      Please, please, do not consider working in their IT division.

      Pros

      You might be able to transfer to another division, although the other divisions have deep seated negative opinions about the BIS (IT) division, and their employees are held in low regard by the other division.

      Cons

      PepsiCo re-badged significant portions of their IT staff last year to HCL. An Indian IT staffing company. Unfortunately, the process was executed poorly and work has ground to a stand-still, because no SLAs were set up for Service Requests...so, these tickets go out into the ether and can take weeks or months to be completed. While staff has been told this is the new reality, and that we should realign our expectations, executives have not communicated this to our customers. Meaning that their expectations are aligned with the way things worked two years ago; back when Service Requests had 48 hour SLAs. So while our ability to get work done has been crippled, expectations have not been changed and we are being hammered in performance reviews. All of this has had a devastating effect on morale, and the company culture is completely shot. As you walk the hallways you don't really see people smiling anymore, and the tone of many communications has turned to anger and frustration. Unfortunately, the relationship with HCL is under a seven year contract, so there is really no hope in sight of anything getting better any time soon.
