Chewy interview questions

Interview was easy. Mostly talking over projects with some basic ML questions. Technical round was sql instead of any actual coding. People are nice, friendly and responsive. Recruiter is nice, but I don't think it's a good strategy to convince a candidate that he/she worth less than she is current being paid when negotiating offers.

AWFUL... I've tried to apply for several positions at Chewy and finally got an interview for a job that fit my skill set. During that interview, when the woman found out that I would have to relocate for the position she made the comment "well we really only want people who are local". On my application, I put my address and it was on my resume, so if she had read my application and resume she would have known that. I also checked that I was willing to relocate, so I'm not sure why this was even an issue. The interview continues, she tells me that Chewy would "really prefer to hire from within" (obviously, I was an external candidate - so why bother if this is your preference). I didn't get this job, which was a no brainer after how the woman acted about my not being local or currently employed by Chewy. I've heard great things about the company, so I decided to give the low level positions a shot to get my foot in the door and applied for a Fulfillment Specialist position. I wasn't expecting much from an "Open Interview" but this was by far worse than anything I could have ever expected. Went to the open interview, stood outside in 100+ degrees heat for an hour and 40 minutes. Then was moved inside with probably 30 other "candidates". They had huge signs up saying how 6 feet social distancing was strictly enforced, but we were all crammed in there barely 2 feet apart. We sat in this room for another hour and a half, while the people in charge (and I say that as loosely as possible) waited for people to apply (who hadn't bothered to do so before coming to the open interview) and those of us who had applied to fill out paperwork. Not only did you not actually speak to anyone about any of your qualifications, they hired EVERYONE IN THE ROOM!!! Literally, their exact words, when everyone was finished with their paperwork, were "Congratulations, you're all hired!" What a joke. You know some of these people had no experience what-so-ever. It was insulting and the most unprofessional situation I have ever experienced in my life. They probably "hired" over 100 people today - anyone who could pass a drug test and a background check. And it should be noted they have "open interviews" every day of the week. During the hour and a half that we were all crammed into the room waiting to be "hired", the guy who I'm assuming is the hiring manager - he did everyone's drug test- was on the other side of a curtain, cussing, talking about drinking, going to concerts, the pool at his house, the pool at another employee's house. Definitely not behavior I would have expected from a "hiring manager" (and I took a video of their conversations, it's not great quality, but I'd love for Chewy to contact me and say that's not true - cause I have video. I also have pictures of how close I was to the people in from of me - no social distancing). I'm not sure how this company is as successful as they are. This process was insulting. They obviously don't care about getting qualified employees and just hire as many people as they can, I'm assuming to cover when people quit - which is probably a lot. In case anyone is wondering, I got the job!! But I don't do drugs and my background is completely clean! And I'm breathing, so that's a plus. I guess this is a good set up for those that are desperate and don't mind being treated like complete trash. I also now see why they hire from within, they've got to make sure you'll be OK with their unprofessional culture in order for you to work your way up. If you're a professional and have experience, I would say save yourself the trouble and 3 hours of your life. I also can't answer several of the questions below, as none of them are relevant to the "interview" I experienced today. I can't call this a group/panel interview - as there was no interview. EVERY WAS HIRED!! No questions asked.
