I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Columbia, MO) in Oct 2015
Interview
First I introduced myself at the Career Fair at my Campus. That night I applied online for the Intern Position. A month later I was invited for a 30 minute interview. A few months later I received a formal offer for 2 locations.
The actual interview was good. It wasn't too long, Around 30 minutes. Arrive 10-15 minutes early, dress Business Professional, for men make sure you shave and clean up, have several questions prepared to ask at the end, bring a copy of your resume on resume paper, do research beforehand (know products sold in country you are applying for, basic business operations, their values, etc.), and practice practice practice.
