I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Barcelona) in Feb 2023
Interview
I was referred by a friend and received an email from HR after two days. First is a normal HR screening. I felt the HR did not have good information about the job. I asked about products the team is building but she said she didn't have that yet. However, I passed and received a technical assessment (via HackerRank). It had questions about SQL, Java Spring, Hibernate and two LT medium questions. I didn't do well on the coding part so I received the rejection the next day.

Longest path between any two nodes in a undirected graph
Initial call with a junior talent executive based in the UK. I decided to decline the role and move forward because it was unsuitable for me at this point in time.
It was great experience. Both the interviewers were very friendly and helped out in the scenarios where I was getting stuck. Unfortunately they were expecting a higher level of technology experience, so I couldn't make it.
