Cloud Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
First interview went great. Everything seemed to make sense. The convo was related to the job description and overall pleasant. The second interview was a disaster. Two people, one of which was 30 minutes late due to needing a nap because he was up half the night troubleshooting some issue. Not only was he late, but asked nothing related to the job description, was constantly distracted by someone in the room, and overall just unpleasant. He remarked that it's hard to find someone for this position, and I would agree. When your job description has nothing to do with the position you're actually hiring for, that's going to be quite a challenge to find someone. The job title was for Cloud Engineer, but the interview was for an SRE. I'm not actually sure if there is a distinction between them at Chewy, so this may be expected from their side.

Chewy Work Experiences
- 5.0Wow, this is agileCloud Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesJuly 19, 2022Pros: Leadership is growing more transparent every day. There is no guilt-tripping around using unlimited PTO. Management fears burnout; work-life balance has never been better. The RSU package leaves little room to complain.Cons: Most middle managers are flexible and willing to experiment, but the ones that are not flexible have all the inertia of a cruise ship. Some parts of the tech stack are unnecessarily dependent on a really clever idea that got someone promoted six years ago. These cons are kind of present in every tech company on the planet, though, so I'd say by and large Chewy's a great place to be.
