I've got a final round coming up at PepsiCo in about 3 weeks for a supply chain strategy role. I've been prepping behavioral stories and doing some light case prep but I honestly don't know what to expect in the room.
If anyone has been through a loop there in the last 6-12 months, would really appreciate: what function, how many rounds, what surprised you, how long the process took. doesn't need to be long. even just 'finance, 4 rounds, 6 weeks, they asked a lot about cost reduction' helps. really trying to calibrate.

supply chain ops role, about 9 months ago. 3 rounds after HireVue: recruiter screen, hiring manager, then a panel of 3 (two supply chain leads and an HR person). total was about 5 weeks. they hit hard on cross-functional leadership stories and asked me to walk through a time I had to make a decision with incomplete data. no case presentation on my loop but I've heard it varies by level.

supply chain adjacent on the manufacturing side. they asked a lot about how I handle ambiguity and stakeholder conflict. the interviewer specifically wanted examples where I had to push back on a stakeholder and still get the outcome. good luck, the people I talked to seemed genuinely sharp.

corporate finance role, about 4 months ago. 5 weeks total. HireVue then two phone screens then final panel of 4. they had me walk through a DCF I had built in a prior role in one of the interviews. 'analytical discussion' for finance definitely means be ready to explain your models in detail, not just high level.
