PepsiCo is a massive CPG company with a genuinely broad hiring funnel across functions: brand management, finance, supply chain, data analytics, commercial strategy, and more. The interview process typically runs 4-6 weeks total and varies by function, but a few patterns show up consistently.
For most corporate roles, expect a HireVue video screen (async, behavioral questions timed at 2-3 minutes each), followed by a phone screen with a recruiter, then a final panel of 3-5 interviews. The panel often includes a case-style or structured scenario exercise depending on the team. For marketing and strategy roles, expect a brand or business case presentation. For finance, expect both behavioral interviews and a modeling discussion. For data and analytics, SQL and analytical thinking questions come up regularly.
PepsiCo's interviewers lean heavily on competency-based behavioral questions. They use an internal framework (called "Leadership Behaviors") to score candidates, so STAR structure is genuinely what they are looking for, not just a nice-to-have. Culture signals: collaborative, execution-oriented, big on cross-functional influence. You are expected to show you can work across silos.
