Pros

Smart people. Real business challenges. Good pay. PepsiCo's reputation is very positive and solid and the benefits of being a PepsiCo alumni last beyond your time at the company. Long term employees are very helpful and knowledgeable. Some of the more recent hires - in the last five years - may have lost the edge that some of the more seasoned employees have acquired; however being able to tap into a strong network of solid performers with enough years of experience can be extremely valuable. There is a strong former employee network, and in the current job market, it's always good to know that other former PepsiCo people are out in the workplace doing very well and are often able to assist in landing a new assignment.

Cons

Long hours. Too much internal competition and politics.

Pros

PBG has a fun culture. Their brands are well known and they focus on execution. The company is very competitive being in a n industry with two key competitors so if that fits your pesonality it is a great place to go. Additionally, there are always new products coming out from PepsiCo so you get to be on the cutting edge of new products and consumer trends and you get free samples as well!

Cons

The company believes in "punching cards" and so if you are on a fast track tot he top, you can be sidelined by having to do a certain function before you can move up. Also, they have very little regard for relocating employees.

Pros

PepsiCo has some of the best senior leadership I've ever seen...not only are they talented, but they're equally inspiring. The company provides a lot of on-the-job training, which brings a continual element of challenge to daily work. PepsiCo is one of those places where you'll get as much as you put in...if you go the extra mile and make meaningful business contributions, then numerous opportunities will be available to you.

Cons

There is a little inconsistency in terms of culture across the different divisions. Additionally, PepsiCo could stand to provide new/early managers with more training. At times there doesn't seem to be the level of transparency required (especially when it comes to the performance management and people planning processes).
