Internship and program length varies. Full-time summer internships for U.S. undergrads may be as short as eight weeks. Co-ops last for a full fall or spring semester (four months). Traineeships may last up to 24 months.
It varies by role. PepsiCo job listings and recruiters can give you specific details for the internship or program that you’re researching. Some internships include pay and expenses, others are unpaid learning opportunities. Be sure to ask about PepsiCo’s fun perks and extras, like social activities and executive lunch-and-learns.
