Salary, Exposure to good work, office infrastructure.

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.

Likes

Company culture is okay okay. Work life balance is good in PBNA, and FLNA. Salary is little higher than average.

Dislikes

Promotions have become very slower these days, it’s getting delayed by 1 yr even if you are 100% on mark. Leaders only think about their own growth while their subordinates are not taken care of. No scope of learning, stakeholder keep the quality with themselves while we are only given entry level jobs.

The learning opportunity

Dislikes

The favoritism and biasness of certain managers is destroying the culture. They play politics in promotion, salary hikes and even in new opportunities. Either the top management is blind or they don't care

Challenging work, good pay, colleagues are the smartest people in the industry

Dislikes

Work Life Balance can be a challenge. Brands comes with lots of legacy & baggage (not sure if that is positive or negative).
