PepsiCo Supply Chain Operations Development Program reviews

Strong politics in upper levels, seniors and directors never resolve the issues of their teams and leave their teams find solutions alone. project deadlines are not respected by all involved departments, IT architecture is very complex as there are many different systems supporting different functions. People don’t understand the benefits of all these systems. Due to cost saving in IT, support for these systems is very poor without documentation which leads to people working with excels. There is a lot of work to be done with systems and people’s culture working with systems as even seniors prefer to work with excels and not change the way they work. Everyone is concerned only for his/her own little box and how to improve the KPIs losing the big picture. Too many people to agree in something and at the end nothing is changing.

Significant lack of leadership skills on site, never worked anywhere where morale was so bad every single day. PepsiCo is an amazing company but Quaker Oats in Forrestfield is a blight on this company.
