The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Chewy (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview process was very similar to Amazon. One screening followed by one day of onsite. The onsite had one system design, one coding and one behavioral interview. The interviewers were friendly and I cleared all rounds with flying colors. The only negative thing was the recruiter experience. I had discussed my minimum expectations with the recruiter before starting the interview process. After hearing my expectations, I was recalibrated for Sr Engineer role from a SDE 2 role. But despite clearing the Sr SDE interview the offer given to me was way low balled. Less than what I make as a SDE 2 in my current organization and like 30% less than my expectations. In the end, the whole thing felt like a huge waste of time and resources for both parties and I would not be interested in interviewing with them again.

Interview
Recruiters were super helpful and accommodated my request to reschedule the interview (because of personal matters). All interviewers were very friendly and the interview was more like a discussion with your teammate.

Question 1
Phone screen round: LC medium question (on arrays). Interviewer asked about the time complexity and asked to optimize. Onsite round of interviews: (there were 4 interviews) 1. LC medium problem on string manipulation. Interviewer asked few behavioral type questions as well. 2. This interview was about code debugging and writing test cases to meet the requirements. 3. System design interview. Interviewer asked to design Twitter clone. 4. Behavioral round with the Director of Engineering. He asked 3 "Tell me about a time..." type questions and asked follow-up questions to know more about the scenario that I mentioned. Overall, very good interview process. Expect behavioral type questions in all rounds. It would be great to prepare "what could you have done differently in project X that you talked about" questions.

Interview
Initial phone screening with a recruiter, followed by an hour technical review using HackerRank. Virtual onsite consisted of debugging a parking lot, coding (leetcode/ return top K elements), system design (reservation app), and behavioral round.
The interviewers were okay. Some more personable/engaging than others. Overall long process for a non MAANG company. Ultimately I tuned down the offer because I couldn’t look past the negative company reviews

Question 1
Behavioral round was focused on “customer first” and how your previous experiences related to that
