Pros

Chewy is growing rapidly, meaning you will be working on new things frequently

Cons

I could forgive most things in the headline, as Chewy is modeling itself after similar tech companies. The most frustrating is that things are centrally managed with the effect that you need very high levels of buy in to do most routine items. Team leaders / vertical owners don't have any functional authority.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
