PepsiCo products are everywhere, from the Quaker Oats we eat for breakfast and the Tostitos we bring to parties, to the Gatorade we drink after a workout. If you’re interested in working for North America’s largest food and beverage company<\/a>, PepsiCo internships<\/a> are a great way to get your foot in the door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a PepsiCo Internship?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PepsiCo internships are 8-12 week-long summer programs that allow undergraduates and recent graduates to do real-life projects across company functions, from finance<\/a> and sales to design and research and development (R&D). Throughout your internship, you’ll learn crucial job skills<\/a> and more about different roles, and get professional feedback and access to a network of mentors and peers. Some PepsiCo internships are paid. Payment is based on a non-negotiable hourly rate accounting for the role, degree discipline, degree level, and location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PepsiCo prides itself on internships as a gateway to full-time employment at the company<\/a>. In the U.S. and Canada, nearly half of PepsiCo interns (46%) convert to full-time employees; almost all program finishers (89.5%) stay at PepsiCo for two years or more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous interns gave PepsiCo 4.3 stars on Glassdoor<\/a> and 82% would recommend PepsiCo internships to a friend. Many reviews praise the company’s culture<\/a>, sharing that other employees were helpful and kind. Other positive reviews also mention the internship pay, which students rate 4.4 stars overall. The most common con in intern reviews is the internship work location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is Eligible for PepsiCo Internships?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PepsiCo U.S. internships are typically for undergraduate and graduate students; each job description clarifies what degree you need to pursue or have completed, and what class year the company’s looking for, if applicable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most PepsiCo internships require students to have some experience in the area they’re applying for, but that doesn’t mean you need professional work experience. In fact, the company states that relevant coursework and other internships count! PepsiCo also looks for soft skills<\/a> like strong work ethic<\/a>, time management<\/a>, organization, and a willingness to learn. While not all internship job descriptions require a specific GPA, some positions require at least a 3.0-3.2 average. Many internships at the company are limited to students with indefinite right to work in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
