15 first-hand experiences · See open roles at Keurig Dr Pepper
For hourly and route-facing roles (merchandiser, warehouse order-picker/selector, DC driver, account sales manager) Keurig Dr Pepper leans almost entirely on an asynchronous HireVue self-paced video interview soon after the application is submitted, and for many candidates that single video plus an in-person or phone follow-up is the whole loop. For engineering / IT / analytics co-ops the pattern is the same HireVue up front, then a longer in-person interview at a plant such as Knoxville. Candidates repeatedly describe the recorded video as short (a handful of behavioural and scenario questions) and the overall timeline as either surprisingly fast (offer the next day) or extremely slow / silent, with a lot of "ghost" postings that never come back.
These 15 writeups cover merchandiser, route driver, warehouse and other roles, US only (route + plant hubs). All of them were posted under a pseudonym (Reddit, GeeksforGeeks or forum handles), so we could not verify the authors’ identities.
