Chewy reviews

This is the worst place I’ve ever worked and I’m pretty convinced it’ll remain the worst. Here’s what you’ll find at Chewy: - You’ll be extremely overworked or underwhelmed depending on the CEOs focus at any given moment (he’ll be assigning your deadlines without hearing a word from you). - You’ll be treated as a number and never be recognized for your accomplishments with no career path. - You’ll write code using frameworks that have been deprecated for years and will face overwhelming resistance if you attempt to fix it. - Product managers will pressure you to write code faster and then get angry at you when things are inevitably broken but hey, they’re just driving the crazy CEO’s agenda. - Code ownership here feels more like code dictatorship and it further pushes away the culture of innovation that good engineers desire. - You’ll never see sunlight because your “unlimited vacation” will never be approved. You’ll need to follow the absurd 30 day notice policy for a single day off even following massive back-to-back projects. Maybe innovation is dead because everyone is burned out. - Everything you do here will be replicating something Amazon already did and you’ll face resistance if you ever suggest innovation. - You’ll face drama left and right. Someone is always causing some new drama, maybe this time you’ll be pulled off of interviewing because you rejected an unqualified candidate or some new framework just gets merged in by a team at another location without even telling your team. - Recruiters will low-ball you if you give them a chance. Just use this place to get an absurdly high number by telling them you’d only consider a number far higher than any other prospects. - You’ll have worst in class benefits matching those of a PetSmart cashier. The same 401K plan as that cashier, horrible health care coverage that requires a deductible for any moderately serious procedure, non-existent paid time off, 5 paid holidays annually (seriously), and Bagel Mondays (as if that makes up for all of this)

With that being said, they absolutely did NOT care about the employees. I've never worked with so many managers that were only looking out for themselves. Gossip runs rampant and the managers and supervisors are the worst ones. When other reviews say it's like high school, they aren't lying. And if you don't chime in on their gossip or laugh when they're making fun of other employees out loud, you might as well quit now. I thought the high road would get you higher up in the company, but I can tell you that none of the managers knows what the "high road" is, it's only what you can do for them. I can tell you with absolute certainty that when you are sick and have to call out, you better have that one understanding manager on the other line when you call in because they will make you feel very small.
