“PepsiCo truly feels like a welcoming family, where people want to see others succeed”
"PepsiCo is a company that truly values its people. Throughout my career here, I have been surrounded by mentors and managers who encourage autonomy and independent thinking, and who believe that questioning the status quo is a critical element of innovation. For example, as the Brand Manager of Quaker Oats So Simple Pots, I have been consistently challenged by my team to think differently about products, processes and consumers, and to share my own perspective. This spirit, a true feeling of collaboration and support from all functions of the organisation, is something that feels very unique to PepsiCo."
"PepsiCo offers employees an open trail to make their own career path, encouraging cross-functional and cross-regional experiences. For example, PepsiCo gave me the opportunity to move to the UK office from Chicago, allowing me the unique opportunity to gain a truly global perspective on marketing and consumers. This experience demonstrated to me that wherever you go, PepsiCo truly feels like a welcoming family, where people want to see others succeed. It is unique to work for a company that values personal development and innovative thinking as highly as business results, and where employees are evaluated on not just the ‘what’ but also the ‘how.’"
Jenna Kaufman, Quaker Brand Manager, PepsiCo
“One of my proudest moments was seeing some of my frontline team go to New York as a reward for delivering a fantastic project”
"PepsiCo continues to deliver on the promises it made during the recruitment process. I was attracted to PepsiCo because of its values around developing people at all levels and offering a breadth of career opportunities. In my six years here, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many great people who have helped me to develop as a leader, building new skills and refining my style. This has come through a blend of mentoring, coaching and some specific training programmes. Personal development plans are frequently reviewed and investing time in my personal growth is actively encouraged.
"
"At PepsiCo breadth of career is encouraged and as a result I’ve been able to experience a wide range of roles. I never envisaged when I joined the company as a Manufacturing Manager that I would spend two years as a Finance Manager in logistics! This experience has helped me perform the role I now do with a much broader perspective on the business needs. I also get the personal satisfaction of being able to invest in others and see them grow and develop. One of my proudest moments was seeing some of my frontline team go to New York as a reward for delivering a fantastic project."
Chris Fielden, Operations Manager, PepsiCo
“Opportunities are tailored for a large-scale business, but executed with a personal, local touch”
"PepsiCo’s global community includes 300,000 people across 200 countries, united by shared values and goals. We are guided by ‘Performance with Purpose’, our commitment to sustained growth, which focuses on Performance, Human, Environmental and Talent Sustainability. By doing what’s right for our people, consumers, and communities, we help create a more successful future. We are committed to achievement through collaboration and respect for our workforce’s diverse experiences. Inclusion is a way of life at PepsiCo. Our associates have lives with their family and community too, so flexibility is crucial. It begins with a simple conversation between manager and associate to identify what can be done to improve the ‘Work Life Balance’."
"PepsiCo offers a range of discreet learning programmes and training but see planned critical experiences as the way people develop. Opportunities are tailored for a large-scale business, but executed with a personal, local touch. We value reward and recognition at all levels, from a simple ‘thank you’ email to a Chairman’s award. Our wide range of benefits ensures flexibility and variety. We’ve introduced My Savings, an exclusive employee discount website and Smart Cars so associates can choose a maintained company car via salary sacrifice. PepsiCo-sponsors charity programmes that encourage volunteering and community involvement."
