I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Davis, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Got the interview through career fair at university. It was on campus. I expected it to be related to my field of engineering since they had already seen my resume at the fair. However, the interview had little to nothing to do with engineering, and it seemed like they were looking for more of a management person. Not sure why they even called me over in the first place.

I applied through university. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Beloit, WI) in Nov 2015
Interview
I interviewed in Pepsi Beloit, in Nov 2015. I know I will never forget this bad experience. The panel for my second interview were two guys in the Sustainability team. They talked very rudely to me and literally told me that "they don't need a person with my qualifications for the job". Well, my qualifications hadn't changed since they called me onsite.
I felt singled out when he said "you can probably take my job because you can do it better", and I felt that he was saying this because I am not a US citizen.
Secondly, Pepsi did not refund me my expenses because "They accidentally lost my records" and asked me twice for the documentation be filled again.
I know Pepsi doesn't sponsor H1B Visas and I will never recommend or have business with this company again.
