I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Oak Brook, IL) in Oct 2017
Interview
I talked to some recruiter on campus at a career fair. I was invited to take an assessment after that. You have to pass the assessment to be invited to the next round. The interview on campus was fairly easy. It was a 2 on 1 panel. After that, I was invited to a two day interview at their office. The first day was very informational and we had the chance to speak with people who were currently in the role we were applying to. We went out into the market and got a tour of the distribution center. There was a dinner with multiple HR people and they put us in a hotel that night. the next day we had our formal interview with two successful members of the organization. The interview was very similar to the campus interview.
You will be contacted by HR asking which location you want to interview at if you get accepted. That is followed by two rounds of interviews over video call. You will be asked questions like how you overcame a difficult situation and about your experience leading a team.
