About the new HYD PepsiCo GBS
Pros
Excellent Pay You get 150 INR everyday to buy lunch/breakfast/snacks Most of people that have been hired in GD&A come from good organisations, are smart and very approachable Leadership is very approachable. No cubicles Access to PepsiCo branded snacks Great office infrastructure. Best in class meeting rooms, collaboration tools, etc. Free company transport. Best in class cabs
Cons
Healthcare benefits not the best. 4 L coverage for employee and dependents across all levels. Parents cannot be covered. You need to pay additional out of pocket to cover parents. It's a little away from Hi-Tech city. Almost 12-15 kms away There is not enough work right now. As a result for the last more than 6 months, we come to office, while away time and then go home. The planning to transition work has not been the greatest which has started to bother most of the people Parking spaces are limited and level based. Not everyone can park their 4 wheelers and 2 wheelers and are advised to use company transport, which can be a real challenge for many - say you have to drop a kid at school or have a parent that you are caring for or have to drop your spouse to office or pick them up Leadership hiring has been a little bit of a mess. Not a very awe inspiring, though provoking leadership. We have hired more managers than leaders and there is a huge difference in both Processes are not very organised. Part of that is due to lack of good leaders who are unable to put processes in place and streamline things Hiring issues - People from same orgs and same levels have been hired at different levels at PepsiCo and sometimes there is a skip level difference Referral responses are very low. I.e. if you refer someone, you need to constantly follow up to get status but sometimes even after multiple follow ups, you don't get the status Flexibility challenges. The organisation mentions that it's not a flexible organisation because it is a start up at HYD. WFH is limited. Everyone is expected to be in office for 8-9 hours even though there is no/limited work
