Salary - good pay

Dislikes

Job security is terrible The VP is IT CTO (Santosh Gupta) is terrible. To save his skin and his close aides whom they brought from Reckitt, killing everyone else Incapable people managers - they need only "yes boss" people. The moment we ask a question, the hell breaks and the Reckitt cartel will do everything to through you out Unless you are in dire need of a job, don't option for Pepsi. Go for other organizations even if you are being paid a couple of lakhs less. India GBS / HBS management sucks In the name of diversity, they are filling up all the open positions with women and in many cases, they force fit women into roles resulting in underperformance and overall poor delivery

Likes

The employee culture is excellent. The company encourages good work-life balance not at the cost of below average salary. The pay scale is good for people with significant CPG experience.

Dislikes

The company is highly leadership driven with less focus on employees at the associate or mid-senior level. Also, the employee's roles and skillsets aren't correctly mapped. This can be discomforting to many people and might affect their career goals.

Dislikes

Unethical working practices & psychologically unsafe working enviroment. Asking people to voice opinions fearlessly and then retaliating when they raise concerns by giving them low performance ratings, no growth, isolation, constant criticism, blocking lateral movement within the organization.. the list is endless. HR enables the unhealthy work enviroment and toxic managers telling the grieving employees that its their fault and they should quit/look for another job. Senior leadership lacks integrity and is just focused on looking good to their managers in the US despite having very low OHS scores and their teams on the brink of burnout. its a shame because PepsiCo is a renowned brand name and is a dream job for many.

Work life balance is okay. Company offers very good variable pay if the company performance is good.

Dislikes

Routine work, too much of bossism politics. Not employ friendly. No scope for skill development. Benefits are not equilly applied to every employee in the company.
