Experience:

The interview process for a Data Analyst role at PepsiCo comprised three stages over two weeks. The candidate prepared extensively by reviewing SQL queries, data visualization tools, and the STAR method for behavioral questions.

The **initial screen** was a phone call to discuss the candidate's resume and motivation for the role.

The **second round** was a technical interview (45 minutes) involving practical tasks with Excel and Tableau, where the candidate was asked to analyze a dataset within a limited timeframe.

A week later, the candidate had a **behavioral interview (30 minutes)** that incorporated STAR-based questions to gauge problem-solving and teamwork skills. Examples of behavioral questions include: "Tell me about a time you had to adapt to a significant change at work," "Explain a time when you had to analyze a large dataset. How did you ensure accuracy in your findings?", and "Describe a time you had to meet a tough deadline in a supply chain project."

The overall experience was positive, and the interviewers were respectful and communicative. The result was "Not Yet" at the time of the experience sharing.
