PepsiCo spent $25 million to preserve the bucolic effect. Business suits seem oddly out of place amid the meadows and groves. Thick stands of trees hide the 1,200 employees' cars from sight. The headquarters building itself is as low and lavish as a latter-day château. It is really seven separate buildings, linked at corners and grouped around a formal central courtyard...
