About the program

Why did we name the program Butterfly Effect Internship?

The Butterfly Effect Theory suggests that the power released by only one butterfly’s wings flap, can amplify over time, to eventually influence weather patterns thousands of miles away!

The Starting Point of a Career for a high flyer can power over time, the entire career track, up to the extent of defining the amount of flavor in it. So, Initial Choices do influence Long term Careers.

Choose Right! Choose PepsiCo!

What is the objective of the Program?

The program is built as an interactive journey on pillars (phases), designed to attract (BIG), develop (BOOST), filter and recruit (BORN) talents with cross-functional abilities out of universities undergraduates.

Which are the phases and their time frame?

  1. Business Institute for future Graduates (BIG)
    16 - 27th MAY 2016
  2. Building Opportunities by Ongoing Sustaining Talent (BOOST) – paid summer Internship
    6th JUNE – 31th of AUGUST 2016
  3. Building On-boarding for the Recruited Newcomers (BORN) 
​   1st of OCTOBER – 31th of DECEMBER

What is each phase all about?

1. BIG – Business Institute for future Graduates:

Will take place in Bucharest HQ + On the Field + Factories, will be sustained by an Internal Training Team, the Booster Coach Team, which will perform functional training sessions for the selected students and will organize & conduct workshops by assessing at the same time the participants and choosing the best of them at the end of the Institute.

2. BOOST – Building Opportunities by Ongoing Sustaining Talent (Summer Internship Program)

The 3 month actual internship will take place in Bucharest HQ, designed for interns with cross functional abilities (the ones filtered in the first stage (BIG)) taking them through a journey of understanding the business and getting cross functional exposure. Interns will be hired on determined period contract and will receive the salary of an entry level in PepsiCo.

3. BORN (Building On Boarding for the Recruited Newcomers)

Another period of time in which the newly Recruited Best Interns get further familiarized with the organization, by going through a Structured On boarding Program.

* The Company does not guarantee employment at the end of the Program. The employment is subject to entry level openings available at that time. If there is no opening available when the program ends, the participant will become part of the preferential candidates pool and will be contacted when an entry level job becomes open.

Why choose this Internship Program?

It is a journey that will enhance and shape your people skills and decision making abilities. The best part about it is that it was created like a competition though offering the participants the opportunity to gain something whatever the phase they reach is. So, if you are amongst the 20 students initially selected to participate in BIG phase you will get a fully flavored training experience in all functions and the chance to become familiarised with how things go in a giant company.

If you are still in the game in the second phase, BOOST (the actual Internship) amongst the chosen students, you get a paid summer job in a multinational, the chance to work with professionals and have lots of fun throughout a fully flavored 3 months experience. After BOOST you might become our colleague. Permanently! And here starts an amazing journey full of possibilities for you…
