Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

The first few weeks involved a thorough introduction to the different PepsiCo channels and insight into the FMCG industry as a whole. This followed 3 weeks in the field which were all different to each other. The final week offered more learnings. Alongside all the information given, a variety of group tasks & challenges were set throughout.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes. One week we were tasked with cold-call selling Pipers crisps to independent establishments across London. We were the first point of contact for the brand.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The culture stood out a lot. It was very evident early on that the company really cared about its workers, people, community and wellbeing. A lovely atmosphere to be apart of which makes coming to work something to look forward to.
