I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chewy in Feb 2023
Interview
From reading quite a few mixed interview reviews about chewy, I was weary of even scheduling one. Much to my surprise (not), the recruiter I was going to interview with had an “emergency”, and said they would reach back out later in the day to reschedule. It’s been about 2 weeks now since then, and I’m no longer interested in working with the brand. I feel sorry for anyone who works for them. If this is any indicator of how the company runs, then they’re in big trouble.
