Pros

*Reviewing for GBS only* - gifts of branded products - meeting with so called tier 1 college people - so feel good factor - good office building - food allowance when Office was open and free snacks and branded products (nothing now though)

Cons

- Hiring in bulk and in junk - no understanding in CPG domain among peers or even in most of the leaderships as most people are coming from technology or process backgrounds even if from CPG companies - GBS is not CPG COMPANY it is merely a shared service - so full of mediocrity, no learning of business, and just boot licking of stakeholders and other GBS towers in countries. - copy pasting work and data entry operations are the only jobs here but they give very good names to such work so that you are fully confused .... - HR in Hyderabad is fully incapable, unethical and non-cooperative. Before hiring they promise you something and after that they don't even respond to you, even in the job if you are in problem, other countries HR comes to your help nit your own HR. - No live training on FMCG fundamental business for Analysts from Indian leaders even if there are some BIG INSTITUTION Guys and from FMCG business - so simply they don't want to give you learning, just the day to day data entry ***** jobs. If you are having already rich background of FMCG you are saved but silent. - too much of layers or hierarchies so NOT at all FLAT ORGANIZATION. Here designations what they provide are fake as in the organisation across countries your internal designation is three levels down. Associate Director actually becomes Senior Manager after joining, and Deputy Director is Manager, Executive manager is Associate Manager, Senior Manager is Senior Analyst, Manager is Analyst (am I serious??) ...yes unfortunately.

Pros

Worked for PepsiCo for 10 years across four locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida. Gained experience in multiple sales and operational roles while supporting account growth, merchandising, and customer relationships. Florida locations were especially well-operated and efficient. PepsiCo provided competitive pay, solid benefits through Keystone, and a good vacation package compared to competitors in the beverage industry. The company also offered strong sales incentive programs, earning rewards such as Orlando Magic floor seats, Pro Bowl tickets, Apple Watches, and Yeti cups for exceeding performance goals and driving sales results.

Cons

While PepsiCo promotes internal growth opportunities, many promotions and leadership opportunities appeared to favor college internship hires over long-term internal employees. In some cases, newer college-based management pushed corporate initiatives without fully understanding local market realities or account volume trends. For example, innovation products were sometimes forced into low-volume accounts where sell-through was unrealistic. Operationally, certain delivery processes could be improved, particularly with Tropicana products being stored in coolers on trucks for extended periods, which could impact product quality and increase waste. Work-life balance could also be challenging, as sales representatives commonly worked 50–60 hour weeks. Expectations from corporate leadership were often unrealistic, especially when customer representatives and drivers were expected to fully stock stores while servicing 15+ accounts per day. Experiences could also vary depending on whether locations were union or non-union operated.
