Senior Software Developer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Not much to say here.
Chewy approached me via a job board. After an initial phone screen and one follow-up call, the corporate recruiter fell off the face of the earth.
I called multiple times regarding feedback from the hiring manager on my resume, but all I got was his voicemail.
I guess I could understand this behavior if I had solicited them about my resume, but considering they contacted me first, I think they should have at least closed the loop.
Not impressed at all.

Chewy Work Experiences
- 1.0Bodyshop with Amazon ambitionsSenior Software Developer • Former EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesJune 3, 2019Pros: Location and commute. Lots of restaurants and nightlife around. Compensation is ok.Cons: Aggressive, show-off management style. Pretending to be Amazon. Everything green on paper, red in reality. Top and middle tech management consists almost exclusively of folks with offshore, no pushback engineering culture. Deeply hierarchical, slow, many errors, pretending to be fast-paced and top-notch. In engineering terms, 5 years behind. The Florida office is driving decisions. Testing and CI/CD are unknown terms. Agile is not really practiced. Source control is a mess.
