Working at PepsiCo in White Plains, NY: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in White Plains, NY Area

"The US market is in turmoil, as thousands of recent layoffs indicate. Soft drinks, sugary drinks, and highly processed snacks are declining rapidly in the US, and that is the primary area Pepsico operates in. The future of the company is highly uncertain. Millennials and Gen Z are rejecting their products. The company is laying off thousands in the US and investing outside the US. Don't be conned by openings and what they tell you in interviews. Openings are likely due to employees who are voluntarily fleeing the company in droves and pursuing roles elsewhere in the tri-state area at more stable CPG companies, such as Unilever, Chobani, Kind, L'Oreal, Henkel, Philips, Dannon, etc. Plenty of other choices. It's a highly unstable, stressful environment, and morale is extremely poor. Don't expect employment longevity here. Laid-off employees are not allowed to provide reviews and speak out, as they will lose their severance if they do so. The company is looking to rapidly automate or outsource many business roles including sales and marketing, plus outsource manufacturing to Mexico. No function seems safe. Sales and stock performance are increasingly reliant on third-world markets and divesting away from the US. The company is betting that it can push unhealthy products onto unwitting third world countries, slowly moving the US out of focus. This is the only thing propping up the stock price. This constantly weighs on your conscious. The company is not being open with both consumers and investors about the detrimental health effects and chemicals of their products/processing, and dishonest about the overall future expectations for the company. Only a matter of time before the SEC and/or FDA catches on and delivers a huge blow. - Elitist executives regularly joke about pushing unhealthy products and habits on households in the US heartland and southern states, and on minorities in cities."

"For the sake of your career, DO NOT TAKE A JOB HERE... 2016 is the beginning of a company-wide, rollout of Financial Close and Reporting Robotics Software manufactured by one of the worldwide leaders in the Industry. Mass, imminent headcount reductions are already being mapped out by Sr. Management. In doing so, the majority of employees in FINANCE, ACCOUNTING AND CAPABILITY and OPTIMIZATION are slated to lose their jobs within the upcoming year. Any new hires still being conducted at this point are simply to serve as a "band-aid" for outdated processes until the new automation software can be fully implemented. They WILL use you and throw you out on the street (just like the innumerable unsold cases of their failed innovation products) if you accept a job here."

"Excellent company and environment."
