Recruiting for the company Pepsi currently is feels dishonest and “icky.” It’s impossible to paint the culture as the picture we’re expected to without straight up lying. I have another gig on the side— enough to stay afloat comfortably, but without benefits. Is it worth it to part ways now? Do we see it getting any better?

I quit. I’m so happy I did! Thanks y’all!
I know someone who was hired after the last round of layoffs and is laid off in the current round, they have a young family and yes I think recruiting them was downright dishonest.
It is icky, but leaving isn't going to change that. There are always a supply of Indians on standby to take over your job.
As a new grad who was completely straight up lied to in the recruiting process I'd say no. I've never had an interview with as many blatant lies as I did here.
It’s been this way at PepsiCo for decades. The company builds up and tears down. Positive strides with leadership generally exist for 2-3 years periods. Painful on both sides of the good times. This is early in a big tear down.
