Pros: The people on my team are fantastic engineers who put in more than their share of work.

Cons: Management can't decide what we should be working on or how we should be organized. We keep going through reorgs and losing/hiring managers. The people stepping in to keep things running aren't getting recognized or promoted, and are getting burned out. Employee ratings and promotions are reduced because of irrelevant bureaucratic barriers that hurt everyone.

Pros: - Pays relatively well - Unlimited PTO

Cons: - Focus on return to office - Stock has taken a hit

Pros: - Learned how to stick up for myself and what not to put up with. - Learned what to look for when going into a company, i.e., what to ask in interviews that will suss out whether a company is good to work at or not.

Cons: Being a female in software engineering at this company has been very difficult. I've experienced tons of sexism that trickles down from up top. There's a lack of diversity & inclusion in the company. Chewy refused to make a post supporting Black Lives, even though tons of employees specifically asked them to do so. There's a horrible sense of direction from management. The direction changes from day to day. There's no way to complete the tasks you are assigned in the regular 40 hours. You're guaranteed to work nights & weekends at Chewy.
