Pros

Get free bags, Pepsico products, Brand Name. But is that all you are looking for to build your long career ?

Cons

This entire Pepsico office in Hyderabad is a sham ! They have hired more than 1000 people in last one year but these are all from BPOs of WNS or from Genpact. There are no fixed processes in place be it the hiring, onboarding or even the IT infra. Have spent more than a year at Pepsico now but you picj uo any team and 90% of the people are here just to mantain the excel sheets and update the data. All the analysis and mind bending work is done by the US teams. They would promise you some average or abobe average salary but you would end up spending almost 12 hours in frint of your system with no weekends and holidays left for you. They would just compensate you like beggars to work on weekends. If you want to apply for a vacation or a leave you need to take approvals from your manager atleast 3 weeks in advance. Feel lucky if you are not asked to vut short your vacation. A team mate was lucky enough to get a job jn another organization but it has been over two months for him begging for his F&F settlement. They have mo process in place and thus things going in circles. You are taught interpersonal skills. Like email writing, talking to US counterparts and even how to talk to your reporting manager US team members are amazing to interact with and they are helpful but the India leadership team is useless. Extremi hierarchical where you have to always just stick to your channel of communication for whatever thing. A BIG HYPE AROUND THIS PEPSICO HYDERABAD OFFICE HAS BEEN MADE. DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP

Pros

Good Pay Good Benefits Relatively fun work do's

Cons

The work itself is extremely dry & repetitive. They preach the ability to grow but you'll find yourself becoming really good at being a cog. They have an abhorrent treatment for employees, within 2 months of joining the company they made my whole team redundant and relocated me to another part of the company - unsurprisingly this is something they failed to mention to anyone external to this. On top of the above, every single corporate cliche you can imagine. Senior management massively deluded & out of touch. Due to pedantic HR policies any procedure lacks any sort of compassion or common sense. Hierarchy really does matter, not everyone is treated the same & the you are expected to be treated in respect to your assigned "Level" A real case of analysis paralysis, you'll be stuck in a mound of large organisation jargon trying to do 1 simple task. Unfortunately & probably most importantly there was a real sense of delusion amongst employees about the real issues the company had. "PepsiCo Way", "PepsiCo Proud" - I feel you'd have a lot of more employee loyalty if you had any sort of humility. All in all, it's take all accountability for things other people have done well & sweep things under the rug/ignore they ever happened when they're in the wrong.
