Pros
Resume builder... the people are generally very smart and competent -- but the best thing about PepsiCo on your resume.... is PepsiCo on your resume.
Cons
The only way to make really good money at Pepsi is to leave....then return at a much higher salary. Far too often -- the corporate culture rewards style over substance as the dritical employee trait, as is indicated by the common internal catch-phrase "pepsi pretty". Pepsi has gone from beinga true brand powerhouse, to being a barn full of bean counters .... it will catch up soon. Innovation is truly dead. But this is not uncommon where many strong branding/marketing companies are putting folks that should be CFOs, into CEO positions [Indra Nooyi].
